Resumen del Editor

While speaking at a Hong Kong medical conference, neurosurgeon Dr. Lucas McCrae slips the cloth off a cadaver's head during a routine medical demonstration, and is overwhelmed with the shock by what's staring back at him: His best friend, Andy Baer.

Stunned, McCrae races back to Seattle to discover that Andy is in fact missing and may have been murdered by a gang of body snatchers who operate a legit funeral business and make a fortune by selling recovered body parts to medical researchers.

McCrae teams up with an unlikely pair - a beautiful but hard nosed female cop and a gang member whose family was victimized by the body parts ring - to try and expose a macabre web of corruption that involves law enforcement, politicians, funeral home curators and murdered prostitutes.

Internationally renowned neurosurgeon Allen Wyler takes us deep into a nightmarish scenario, shockingly ripped from recent headlines, and delivers a horrifically plausible, pause resisting thriller.

Disappointed in the narration

I listen to the books in the car. This narrator would lower his voice so often and so low to the point of missing phrases, character thoughts etc. Very annoying. The story was good, just did not like the narrator's style.

Narrator sucks!!!

Struggle thru out to hear what the narrator was saying when emulating the females voices, had to call rewind and raise the volume, he is not good made the experience sour.🤬😡🤬

the narrator speaks to softly.

the narrator needed to speak louder. he would speak real softly on some parts and made it hard to hear. had to play it over.

Great Book

  Another far-fetched story that I enjoyed.  Although Wyler continues to write stories that are far fetched if not completely unrealistic, I still enjoyed this book. And who knows, maybe this is really plausible.

Good book

After reading the reviews I was doubtful about this book. I’m glad to say I was pleasantly surprised. Story was good, narration was good and it held my interest from the first page to the last. I definitely recommend it.

Couldn’t hear part of the narration

The story was great but parts of the narration were so soft that I couldn’t hear it at all in my car without blasting the stereo. In the end I gave up and went in to another book.

Full of action

It could true story it starts to be shocker that could happen with a good ending

Too many whispers

I liked the story, at least what I could hear of it. The narrator whispered too much,

Enjoyable story

I was looking for a quick read after a long series and stumbled across this book when I searched out books read by Ray Chase. I love his narration and the summary seemed interesting. The story is well written, I liked the depths of the characters. The tension between the main character and his wife threw me back to my ex and my ending relationship. Wyler must have experienced a similar relationship to capture it so well.
As for the racism and distain for people of Polish decent, I forgot about all the jokes that my greasy stepfathers and my mom's ex boyfriends used to tell in the 70's and 80's. It lead to me pausing the book so that I could Google why people made such jokes. Ignorance has always been bountiful the targets for the ignorance just grows and shifts.

Good story

I enjoyed the story, but the narrator detracted a good deal from it. At time he lowers his voice such that it is inaudible. This was really annoying, especially during key moments in dialogue. It would be better to read this book rather than listen to it on Audible.
