I have read quite a few of Cook's books in the past, and have enjoyed them. This one was no exception. I started the book on the return trip from Hong Kong last Thursday.
The book's plot revolves around a series of MRSA-related deaths at the soon-to-be IPO'd chain of Angel Healthcare hospitals started by Dr. Angela Dawson. The deaths were investigated by the work of medical examiner Dr. Laurie Montgomery who was targeted for death by both the organized crime boss investing in the start-up and the lobbyists trying to sabotage the hospital. Montgomery was saved from certain death at the last minute and the crimes exposed.
The epidemiology of MRSA was a bit hard to follow, and aspects of the plot were unbelievable to a degree of being contrived. Nonetheless, the plot moved along at a respected pace, with 500 pages of events happening in a span of about 3 days. (There is a Prologue and Epilogue.)
I rate the book above-average.
