A thriving black market exists for human body parts. In a warehouse outside artsy Tubac, Arizona, corrupt surgeons slaughter illegal Mexican immigrants. Las Vegas mobsters, who smuggle them in, sell their parts to well-heeled patients, vying for hearts, kidneys and more in Mexican surgeries. Syndicated columnist, Carrie Linden, is 35 and gorgeous. She also has a drinking problem and a compulsion for risk-taking. Upon discovering a horrific body harvesting operation, Carrie and lover, wealthy attorney Michael Taylor inform the local Sheriff who refuses to investigate. Carrie embarks on a death-defying race to end these atrocities. She'¬"s blinded by her quest to bring justice to evildoers who exploit the weak. Despite Michael'¬"s insistence she quit, Carrie puts herself and others in harms way. Time is short; the next operation is scheduled. Body Parts is the second installment of a bone-chilling trilogy. It paints a gruesome portrait of this black market and the psyche of those who run it.
