Jennifer Hernandez is a fourth-year medical student at UCLA whose world is shattered during an otherwise ordinary day. While half-listening to a news report on medical tourism, where first-world citizens travel to third-world countries for surgery, she hears her beloved grandmother's name mentioned, and her own heart nearly stops: the reporter says Maria Suarez-Hernandez had died, a day after undergoing a hip replacement in New Delhi's Queen Victoria Hospital. Maria raised Jennifer and her brothers from infancy, and their bond was unshakable. Still, the news that Maria had travelled to India is a shock to Jennifer, until she realizes it was the only viable option for the hardworking yet uninsured woman. Devastated, Jennifer takes emergency leave from school and heads to India, where relations with local officials go from sympathetic to sour as she presses for information. With the discovery of other unexplained deaths followed by hasty cremations, Jennifer reaches out to her mentor, New York City medical examiner Dr Laurie Montgomery. Laurie, along with her husband, Dr Jack Stapleton, rushes to the younger woman's side. And as the death count grows, so do the questions, leading Laurie and Jennifer to unveil a sinister, multilayered conspiracy of global proportions.

Interesting Read
One of Robin Cook's usual books,with the theme being people seeking surgical procedures out of the country. The country in this book is India. Always enjoy reading Robin Cook's novels. He usually has characters you care about. In this one, it is the Stapletons, the medical examiners. Overall the book is interesting, but not his greatest book out there.

Foreign Body
Typical Robin Cook medical thriller that
would probably appeal mostly to those
who have medical knowledge-it contains
quite a lot of medical technology. The story
may make readers want to avoid being
hospitalized for elective surgery.
