New York City medical examiners, Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton, last seen in VECTOR, now confront a ballooning series of puzzling hospital deaths of young, healthy people who have just undergone successful routine surgery. As the death toll mounts, it seems impossible to determine why and how the patients are dying but Lauries suspects that they are related and intential, suggesting the work of a remarkably clevery healthcare serial killer with ties to both developing genomic medicine and the economics of modern-day healthcare.
