I chose this book because I'm trying to complete a challenge and the cover was one of the points I needed to cross of.
It's not the kind of novel that I'm fond of reading, but when you're awake in the middle of the night while nursing my young son it was just perfect to read. Not too difficult and it actually felt pretty tightly wrapped without too much of the usual romance in these 'crime' novels. Of course it wouldn't fit the genre if it didn't fiddle a little bit with a certain love interest.
The story revolves around Toby Harper, a emergency doctor, who runs the night shift. One night the police brings in a distraught naked man. While she tries to understand what is happening, another emergency erupts. The patient disappears and she's trying to figure out what happened.
What follows is a clinical crime where human trials have gone terribly wrong. Where a human life doesn't have any value when there isn't any money backing it up.
The story was very straight forward. It was pretty clear in which direction it was headed. All in all, it felt like a B-movie. Good for a quick read, but not something I'm going to remember in the long run.
