SHOCK


Have you ever heard of girls who would earn for higher research?? Sounds familiar right? I believe it is so but how many of us know that the drive to study turns most of us blind and we land up sometimees in deep s__t. I know of two girls in the novel Robin Cook wrote and believe me it is a SHOCK. Cutting-edge technology and personal greed converge in this spine-tingling novel of medicine run amok. Deborah Cochrane and Joanna Meissner, students and close friends, spot a campus newspaper ad that promises to solve their financial problems: an exclusive, highly profitable fertility clinic on Boston's North Shore is looking for donors. Deborah and Joanna figure they can perform a good deed in helping infertle couples, while earning some money for themselves. Although rumours surface of a fellow donor's unexplained disappearance, they remain undeterred and possibly don’t realize that the medical profession does have some dangerous affairs too which can affect even common man! The procedures seem to go smoothly, but second thoughts and curiosity prompt the two women discover more. Stymied by the clinic's veil of secrecy, Deborah and Joanna obtain employment there to continue their probe. Working under aliases, they soon discover the horrifying true aims of Dr Windgate's research, immediately putting their lives - and their sanity - irrevocably at risk.
The same effect as in TOXIN. And as usual he avoids too much use of technical jargon to make it reach common man…A must read
