It is curious how the great diversification in the most current literary genres can end up leading to very specific subgenres. We were recently talking about John Grisham and his own genre of judicial suspense and now it is Robin Cook's turn with his dedication to scientific mystery, medical suspense ...
And so it happens that when authors like Grisham or Cook become genres in themselves, battalions of readers rush to devour every novelty.
The novel "Imposters" raises the sinister idea of the doctor disturbed or perhaps moved by evil interests capable of being put before people's lives. What are you imposing and why is the person in charge of hiding murders in medical rulings?
Reading Cook always manages to fill that idea of hospitals with a more unsettling point than they already have. Because nobody likes to enter a hospital, a common sign of illness, but already thinking that there could be characters like the mysterious murderer undercover in this novel ...
Fiction, of course, everything is limited to fiction. And even in this we find the normal emblem of medical personnel. Because Noah Rothauser is that capable doctor, determined to improve the praxis of a medicine increasingly supported by technology and ultimately very human.
That is why the fiasco of a very new technology to be implemented in his Boston hospital affects him greatly and launches him to a detailed investigation into what could go wrong for a patient to end up dying.
Anesthesiology is a medical practice that summarizes the physiological, the analytical and the chemical. An anesthetist has the power to keep you between here and there. And seen like this, in the hands of an insane man, the matter can lead to the end ...
What Noah is finding out about his staff will lead us to an investigation with pleasure at Agatha Christie, with that circle of possible criminals on which we are guided to shuffle where the seed of that evil is.
Because, what is worse, the matter does not stop there and new patients end up crossing that threshold between sedation and death. And Noah has to act with haste and intuition to end up discovering everything without ending the same peppered by doubt ...
