I did a post a while back about
a good book I had read. Well, I was very happy to have the opportunity to read another good book by the same author.
Dead Ringer by Allen Wyler.
I have to say that I think I liked this one better than the first book! It is not a series, but just good books!
I was into the book from the very first. I had a hard time putting it down! I love to read and read all kinds of books, this is one of my favorites I've read in a while.
True-to-Life Body Snatcher Syndicates
Recent Newspaper Headlines Confirm Horrifying Premise
"In the tradition of
Robin Cook, Wyler takes us behind the scenes to show us things the medical establishment
doesn’t want us to see. DEAD RINGER builds a high-speed plot
on a startling but all-too-plausible premise. This is the stuff nightmares are
made of."
-- Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling
author of Paranoia and Buried Secrets
“…Wyler does for hospitals what Benchley did for the
ocean.”
--Joe Moore, Co-author of the International Bestseller,
The Grail Conspiracy
“Neurosurgeon Allen
Wyler knows of what he speaks, and writes, and the result is a thriller that equals
and updates the best of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton.”
--Jon Land, bestselling author of Strong at the Break
While speaking at a Hong Kong
medical conference, neurosurgeon Dr. Lucas McCrae slips the cloth off a
cadaver’s head during a routine medical demonstration, and is overwhelmed by
what’s staring back at him: The face of his best friend, Andy Baer.
Stunned, McCrae races back to
Seattle to discover that Andy is in fact missing and may have been murdered by
a gang of body snatchers who operate a legit funeral business and make a
fortune by selling recovered body parts to medical researchers.
McCrae teams up with an unlikely
pair—a beautiful but hardnosed female cop and a gang member whose family was
victimized by the cadaver ring—to try and expose a macabre web of corruption
that involves law enforcement, politicians, funeral home curators and murdered
prostitutes.
Internationally renowned
neurosurgeon Allen Wyler takes us deep into a nightmarish scenario, shockingly
ripped from recent headlines, to deliver a horrifically plausible, page-turning
thriller.
EDITOR’S NOTE
Medical research has always been a
cornerstone of medical innovation, and thus of our society. But throughout
history, many suspect that the gathering of human bodies for research has never
been purely ethical or legal. Many believe that today, sophisticated
international syndicates exist that traffic in body parts for medical research;
the most recent incident appearing in the New York Times just weeks ago. (http://nyti.ms/NfU5kU)
We feel this crime has been
elusively clandestine, easily dismissed, and in many cases overlooked for
cynical reasons. We would like to go on record as agreeing with ethics scholars
that everyone involved in the medical community, be they students
practitioners, media or affiliates should remain vigilant and forthright; and
embrace the high standard of responsibility inherent in the ethical conduct of
medical research, especially when it involves human remains.
