I'm working my way through all of the Robin Cook novels I have missed! Each and every one is fascinating and I'm overwhelmed with his ability to write with such incredible detail about so many different aspects of medicine, world-wide, no less! I'm always amazed at how people react to his novels when I find them so....incredible! For one man to have written so fluently for so long---I hope he doesn't stop writing for a minute!!! ( )
This wasn't as intriguing and gripping as some of Robin Cook's earlier works, but it wasn't a bad story. It was a little repetitive and slow at times, but it flowed relatively well to the conclusion. If you are looking for a few hours distraction that isn't taxing on the brain cells, this is an ok read. ( )

Only those long-term residents of Dehli who were extraordinarily sensitive to the vicissitudes of the city's traffic patterns could tell that rush hour had peaked and was now on the downward slope. The cacophony of horns, sirens, and screeches seemed undiminished to the tortured, untrained ear. The crush appeared unabated. There were gaudily painted trucks; buses with as many riders clinging precariously to the outside and on the roof as were inside; autos, ranging from hulking Mercedes to diminutive Marutis; throngs of black-and-yellow taxis; auto rickshaws; various motorcycles and scooters, many carrying entire families; and swarms of black, aged bicycles. Thousands of pedestrians wove in and out of the stop-and-go traffic, while hordes of dirty children dressed in rags thrust soiled hands into open windows in search of a few coins. Cows, dogs, and packs of wild monkeys wandered through the streets. Over all hung a smothering blanket of dust, smog, and general haze.

Jennifer hoped Veena would be receptive to her help. After all, Veena had taught Jennifer some important life-altering lessons, and she wanted to return the favor. Although at very great cost, Veena had taught Jennifer about redemption and forgiveness in ways she would never have learned otherwise.
