X2-A first edition (stated with complete numberline) hardcover book in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket has wrinkling, chipping and crease on the edges and corners, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. 9.5"x6.5", 348 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. F. Paul Wilson's superb novels include two New York Times bestsellers (The Keep and The Tomb) and the stunning million-dollar medical thriller The Select. Now, in Implant, he takes us to the front lines of the health care war. Young doctor Gina Panzella has known her boss, plastic surgeon Dr. Duncan Lathram, almost her entire life, and respects him deeply. Charming and brilliant, Duncan has invented a dissolving implant that allows incisions to heal without scarring. Duncan's artistry in the operating room is the salvation of Washington's biggest power players whenever they need touch-ups for C-Span. But there are a few things about Duncan that Gina can't quite figure out. Why did he trade vascular surgery for the more profit-trade vascular surgery for the more profitable but less vital plastic surgery, and why won't he accept his patients' medical insurance? What caused his daughter's death and the breakup of his marriage? Why do his tirades against the new congressional medical ethics committee have such a bitter, personal sting? And what is his connection to two committee members who died in accidents not long after Duncan operated on them? Soon Gina's curiosity about Duncan is replaced by suspicion and fear. With the help of Gerry Canney, a high school classmate now working for the FBI, Gina determines to find out what ruined Duncan's personal life and aroused his wrath against the congressmen. She finds a man much more complex and mysterious that the sharp-tongued but kind-hearted physician she thought she knew. Then two more congressmen fall ill after Duncan's surgery. And Gina discovers another kind of implant in Duncan's arsenal...
