From
Wealthy plastic surgeon Duncan Lathram would seem to have it made. Thanks to the aid of his brother, a hotshot pharmacologist and implant inventor, his clientele is the rich and famous. But then representatives and senators on a congressional guidelines committee, all of whom have had close associations with Duncan, start dying. Duncan's young surgical colleague, Gina Panzella, starts putting implants, accidents, and motives together, and the action in Wilson's medical thriller picks up. The smoothness with which Wilson develops the plot, the fact that all the major characters are believable human beings, and the mounting excitement as the pieces of a murderous puzzle fall into place should keep readers rapt right to the last page. William Beatty
Review
Praise for Implant:
“This one will keep you page-turning on those long nights.”
_--USA Today
_
“A taut, battle-of-wits medical thriller that turns on vengeance.”
--Publishers Weekly
“The smoothness with which Wilson develops the plot, the fact that all the major characters are believable human beings, and the mounting excitement as the pieces of a murderous puzzle fall into place should keep the reader rapt to the last page.”
--Booklist
“This suspenseful medical thriller has complex, liable characters, an intriguing background, and it raises important questions by pitting self-serving bureaucrats against unethical physicians. Definitely a cut above most.”
_--Library Journal
_“Believable medical suspense…Wilson’s most sensible, reined-in plot so far features an attractive and well-spoken villain whose warped take on things is understandable, if not justified….A terrific story.”
--Kirkus Reviews
