BLURB:
Dr.
Matthew MacAulay is a Facial Transplant Surgeon at a prestigious New
York hospital. His friend and mentor, Tom Grabowski, dies under
mysterious circumstances. Matthew is forced to investigate. He
uncovers his friend’s secret. A new technique that allows perfect
facial transplants. No incisions, no scars. The surgeon is able to
transplant one person’s face to another with the perfect result.
Tom was able to accomplish this monumental feat with the help of
Alice, a supercomputer robot with almost human abilities. While
trying to find the people responsible for murdering his friend Tom,
Matthew realizes he is the prime suspect. Matthew must flee for his
life with the help of Dr. Sarah Larsson, a colleague and reluctant
helper who has a secret of her own. Alice helps them make sense of a
baffling series of seemingly unrelated events. Matthew is forced to
undergo a facial transplant to hide his identity and help to uncover
the truth. The clues carry Matthew and Sarah around the world.
Matthew stumbles onto a sinister plot of monumental proportions, the
real reason Tom was murdered. This discovery leads Matthew all the
way to The White House with a dramatic conclusion. Matthew never
wavers in his quest for the truth and perseveres against all the
odds. He must race to stop a major catastrophe, ratcheting up the
excitement until the thrilling conclusion. The Face Transplant is a
powerful medical suspense thriller of the first order. The novel was
written by a surgeon. The novel has a realism that only a surgeon can
bring. The plot weaves politics, medicine and espionage into a
tightly paced, intelligent thriller. The novel crescendos page by
page to a totally unexpected conclusion.
EXCERPT:
The
Doppelganger Jeremy
Jeremy
remembered starring in a movie where he played twins. One twin was
evil, the other good. He had played both roles. It was a low budget
film. The movie went straight to video, no theatrical release. The
thing he remembered when he saw the film was how strange it was to
see two of yourself. He had that same feeling now. Truth be told,
they were identical. Height, weight, clothes, there were a perfect
pair. Matthew is confused it is clear the actor is a perfect double.
A doppelganger.

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this event. It's a great opportunity to discuss the book.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the blurb.
ReplyDeleteThe concept of twins is very prevalent in literature. The Face Transplant plays with this concept. You can create perfect doppelgangers, man made no less.
ReplyDeleteThe blurb is very intriguing!
