Product Description

Product Description

A debut medical thriller in which a young surgeon is invited to join an elite heart transplant team, and sees it as an opportunity to finally make up for her own brother's tragic death. But she soon discovers how far the team are prepared to go to maintain their record of success, and finds her own life at risk.


From the Back Cover

DISCOVER THE THRILLER THAT MADE TESS GERRITSEN A CRIME-WRITING STAR

In the ER ward of a Boston hospital, a tale of twisted terror lies waiting…

Dr Abby Di Matteo – a second-year surgical student in Boston Bayside’s elite cardiac team – is about to make a decision that will jeopardize her career.

A car-crash victim’s healthy heart is ready to be harvested, having been cross-matched to a private patient, forty-six-year-old Nina Voss.Instead Abby makes sure the transplant goes to a dying boy, also a perfect match.

The repercussions leave her plagued with self-doubt. Suddenly a new heart appears, and the transplant is completed. Then she makes a terrible discovery: the donor records have been falsified. The new heart has not come through the proper channels.

Defying the hospital’s demands for silence, Abby begins her own investigation that reveals an intricate and murderous chain of deceptions . . .

‘What Anne Rice is to vampires, Gerritsen is to the tale of medical suspense. She is better than Palmer, better than Cook…yes, even better than Crichton’
Stephen King

‘The best medical thriller I’ve read since Coma’ James Patterson --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Haven't I read this plot somewhere before?, 7 Feb 2004
By Danielle Hall - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This novel is well written, but pretty much a copy of "Coma" by Robin Cook. The medical detail is convincing (as you would expect from a writer who has been a doctor) but the plot is much less believable (as are the stereotypical Russian baddies). An entertaining read, but not one her best novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book, 9 Aug 2006
By Hugh Sutherland "hughs1206" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Harvest (Paperback)
I have really become a huge fan of Ms Gerritsen. Aside from her detailed scientific information, her books are always well written and planned out.
Harvest is very readable to say the least. She establishes her characters well and creates a increasingly steady atmosphere throughout the book.
This book was her first medical thriller and the writing may not be as developed as her more recent efforts but it is still a fantastic read.
