El maestro del thriller m嶮ico vuelve con una explosiva novela sobre un virus mortal y sus oscuros or璲enes. Cuando una joven aparentemente sana se desploma de repente en el metro de Nueva York y muere al llegar al hospital, su caso es atribuido a una agresiva variante de la gripe. Hasta que acaba sobre la mesa de autopsias del veterano m嶮ico forense Jack Stapleton, quien descubre unas sorprendentes anomal燰s: la joven hab燰 sufrido un trasplante de coraz鏮 y, adem嫳, su ADN coincide con el del 鏎gano recibido. Despu廥 de que otras dos v獳timas fallezcan de forma igualmente fulminante, Jack comienza a temer que la ciudad se enfrente a una pandemia sin precedentes. Y, cuando nuevos casos son descubiertos en Los 聲geles, Londres y Roma, Jack debe emprender una carrera contrarreloj para averiguar qu?clase de virus puede causar estos estragos. Su investigaci鏮 le conduce a un fascinante nuevo tipo de ingenier燰 gen彋ica que est?haciendo so鎙r a la comunidad cient璗ica... y atrayendo la atenci鏮 de sus miembros con menos escrulos. «El maestro del thriller m嶮ico . --The New York Times

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION New York Times-bestselling author Robin Cook takes on the cutting-edge world of gene-modification in this pulse-pounding new medical thriller. When an unidentified, seemingly healthy young woman collapses suddenly on the New York City subway and dies upon reaching the hospital, her case is an eerie reminder for veteran medical examiner Jack Stapleton of the 1918 flu pandemic. Fearful of a repeat on the one hundredth anniversary of the nightmarish contagion, Jack autopsies the woman within hours of her demise and discovers some striking anomalies: first, that she has had a heart transplant, and second, that, against all odds, her DNA matches that of the transplanted heart. Although the facts don't add up to influenza, Jack must race against the clock to identify the woman and determine what kind of virus could wreak such havoc--a task made more urgent when two other victims succumb to a similar rapid death. But nothing makes sense until his investigation leads him into the fascinating realm of CRISPR/CAS9, a gene-editing biotechnology that's captured the imagination of the medical community. . . and the attention of its most unethical members. Drawn into the dark underbelly of the organ transplant market, Jack will come face-to-face with a megalomaniacal businessman willing to risk human lives in order to conquer a lucrative new frontier in medicine--and if Jack's not careful, the next life lost might be his own.
