A routine spinal injection during a normal birth. And for Dr Jeffrey Rhodes, a living nightmare begins . . .
Before his eyes, a young, healthy woman suffers inexplicable seizures and dies. Her child survives, brain damaged and severely disabled.
Disgraced and convicted of a fatal error, Rhodes becomes a fugitive. Desperate to uncover what really happened in the operating room. Before a killer claims another life . . . Doctor and author Robin Cook is widely credited with introducing the word 'medical' to the thriller genre, and over twenty years after the publication of his breakthrough novel, Coma, he continues to dominate the category he created. Cook has successfully combined medical fact with fiction to produce over twenty-eight international bestsellers, including Outbreak (1987), Terminal (1993), Contagion (1996), Chromosome 6 (1997) and, most recently, Cure (2010).
