David McBride has just been given the chance to get back into the operating room after making a costly error in judgement early in his career. But before he can start in his new role, he's talked into performing illegal organ harvests for a good deal of money. David and his wife are struggling on her income, supporting his father who needs 24-hour care, and living in a low-end area of town. The money will help. What he doesn't realize is that the donors are not willing participants.
The Organ Takers: A Novel of Surgical Suspense
The novel isn't just about David's predicament but also about the morals and ethics related to organ transplants in general. What lengths would a person go to if their own child was in need of a transplant and wasn't high enough on the list? If someone is willing to donate an organ to another person in exchange for money, should they be able to do it? I found myself thinking about these issues while reading this thriller.
The Organ Takers is a quick read ~ I actually read it during a readathon last month. The author does delve into a lot of medical detail, but I found it quite fascinating. If you like that sort of thing, you'll like it here too. I wasn't crazy about the ending, mostly because the reader is left hanging a bit since there will be a sequel. But some things were wrapped up well.
If you're looking for an engaging, suspenseful story with a character that you can root for, check it out!
My Rating: 4/5
