En savoir plus sur le livre
Michael Palmer, a master of medical thrillers, returns with a gripping tale of danger and violence surrounding a gifted neurosurgeon. Dr. Jessie Copeland, a respected figure at Eastern Mass Medical Center, dedicates her time to developing ARTIE—an innovative robotic system designed to perform brain surgery on tumors previously deemed inoperable. Just as she believes ARTIE is months away from human application, her ambitious department head prematurely uses it in a high-profile case, drawing intense media attention and a flood of patients seeking this groundbreaking treatment. Unbeknownst to the hospital staff, the publicity has attracted Claude Malloche, a remorseless mercenary with a life-threatening brain tumor that ARTIE could potentially treat. Malloche, brilliant and dangerous, is willing to resort to extreme measures to secure his treatment, including threatening the very institution that has become a beacon of hope in neurosurgery. As the situation escalates, Jessie finds herself facing the most harrowing case of her career, where the stakes are life and death. With no guarantees in brain surgery, Malloche's demand for certainty puts everyone in jeopardy. The tension mounts as disaster looms just a cut away, and the consequences of failure could be catastrophic. This heart-pounding narrative is a riveting and unpredictable journey into the depths of medical suspense.
