It's a part of the series involving Laurie Montgomery and her husband Jack Stapleton, both Medical Examiners. The book was intense and moving; the only negative being that Montgomery plays too big a role. The story as always talks waxes eloquent with even 'family' members like Louie saying "in this business sometimes you need to use violence to keep the peace." Laurie as always, bemoans the marriage of medicine and business. In Cure, the plot centers on stem cells and the highly profitable potential of such discoveries. I loved the other Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton books but this one was a bit convoluted and overly complex. Cook tried to fit too much into a medical mystery book (did not need a 3 page list of characters). None of the characters were very well developed. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

En otro momento, Laurie habría firmado el certificado de defunción sin pensárselo dos veces, pero en esta ocasión, hay algo que la hace dudar e insiste en revisar todas las grabaciones de las cámaras de seguridad del metro. Descubre que, detrás del fallecido, se encontraban dos japoneses y uno de ellos le apuntó con un paraguas. Además, cuando la policía logra identificar el cadáver, parece aún más probable que fue un asesinato: el fallecido es Satoshi Machito, un científico prestigioso propietario de una patente de células madre pluripotentes, un auténtico tesoro para la industria de medicina regenerativa.
