Synopsis
As she has skillfully done in her past novels Speak No Evil and Angel of Death, Rochelle Krich adeptly tackles another timely and ohen heated controversial issue, fertility procedures, within the framework of a twisting plot--in this her most heart-pounding and suspenseful novel to date.
Scandal has shaken the life and career of Dr. Lisa Brockman, a staff physician at the prestigious Los Angeles fertility clinic that has come under fire for alleged egg switching. She is further rocked by the murder of a young egg donor, and by the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Matthew Gordon, the clinic's founder and Lisa's fiance. With her medical career in jeopardy, Lisa reassures her patients--especially an anxious Orthodox Jewish woman carrying twins--that the rumors are unfounded.
While an L. A. P. D. homicide detective probes the possible connection between the young woman's murder and Matthew's disappearance, Lisa--plagued by guilt because she doubts her feelings for Matthew and confused about her yearning to return to Orthodox observance--launches her own desperate search. In the face of allegations of fraud, misconduct and embezzlement, she unearths a complex labyrinth of greed, deceit and cover-ups beneath the distinguished veneer of one of the world's most successful fertility clinics. As she closes in on the shocking truth behind the facility's darkest secrets, Lisa realizes she cannot trust anyone for behind the facade of friendship might lurk the twisted soul of a diabolical killer.
With a fertility clinic in turmoil as her backdrop, Rochelle Krich masterfully juxtaposes the science of life--with the ultimate reality of death.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 342 pages. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine over beige boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition review copy with review statement laid in. Murder is the least of the chicanery at an L.A. fertility clinic in this tautly-moving tale. Even before her fiancÇ disappears, Dr. Lisa Brockman has bad feelings about the death of Chelsea Wright. The waitress had taken $2500 to serve as an anonymous egg donor to Lisa's Westwood clinic in order to tide herself over until she could start earning money as a teacher. Now that she's dead, though, she may cost the clinic thousands of times that amount. Someone has started a rumor that instead of implanting infertile women with their own fertilized eggs, the clinic has been switching eggs, leaving its clients pregnant with the children of strangers. The most devastating accusation--that Orthodox Jewish client Naomi Hoffman's eggs, so conscientiously shepherded at every step of the implantation process by a shomer tasked with insuring that her baby will be her own, are really Chelsea's--is turning out, despite all apparent evidence to the contrary, to be the hardest to disprove. Now Naomi and her husband, a rabbinic student, are going bonkers; Chelsea's grieving parents are preparing to sue for custody of the baby they're convinced is their grandchild; reporters across town have emblazoned the clinic on their Rolodexes; and it's all falling to Lisa to sort out, because the clinic director, her fiancÇ Dr. Matthew Gordon, has taken a powder--or been murdered to keep his mouth shut. Suddenly, Lisa finds her life (literally) threatened and (figuratively) falling apart. Beginning with a guided tour of current research on infertility problems and solutions, Krich (Speak No Evil, 1996, etc.) expertly ratchets up the tension (should Lisa trust the advances of fellow clinician Sam Davidson? What will happen if she goes undercover as an ob/gyn patient herself? How can she disprove the thickening legal allegations?), saving a few choice surprises for dessert. Krich makes use of the suspense formula to put a hot-button issue--the problems of parenthood in the age of fertility clinics--under the knife. Condition: Small bumped to head edge else a near fine copy in like jacket. N° de réf. du vendeur BOOKS005024
