Impostores, el nuevo y explosivo libro del autor superventas y maestro del thriller médico Robin Cook, te hará dudar de todo.
Noah Rothauser es el nuevo responsable de residentes del Boston Memorial Hospital. Conocido por sus avances médicos y su tecnología de vanguardia, el hospital ha instalado varios «quirófanos del futuro». La buena acogida de las novedosas instalaciones llega a su fin cuando un hombre aparentemente sano muere debido a la anestesia durante un procedimiento rutinario.
Noah no tarda en descubrir que el doctor William Mason, un prestigioso cirujano, es el responsable del error que le costó la vida al paciente y de, posteriormente, manipular su historial clínico. Sin embargo, Mason no tarda en culpar a la anestesista, Ava London, una profesional resolutiva y altamente cualificada.
Cuando otros dos pacientes mueren por complicaciones con la anestesia, Noah tiene que cuestionarse a todos los residentes... Incluida Ava, ya que esconde cosas: es adicta a internet y tiene multitud de perfiles falsos.
¿Qué ocultan las distintas identidades de Ava? ¿Quién es el responsable de las muertes de los pacientes? Con su puesto y su credibilidad en entredicho, Noah deberá desentrañar el misterio y encontrar al culpable, y tendrá que hacerlo antes de que muera más gente... aunque su vida corra peligro.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The explosive new thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author and master of the medical thriller, now in paperback.
Newly minted chief resident at Boston Memorial Hospital Noah Rothauser is swamped in his new position, from managing the surgical schedules to dealing with the fallout from patient deaths. Known for its medical advances, the famed teaching hospital has fitted several ORs as "hybrid operating rooms of the future"--an improvement that seems positive until an anesthesia error during a routine procedure results in the death of an otherwise healthy man. Noah suspects Dr. William Mason, an egotistical, world-class surgeon, of an error during the operation and for tampering with the patient's record afterward. But Mason is quick to blame anesthesiologist Dr. Ava London.
When more anesthesia-related deaths start to occur, Noah is forced to question all of the residents on his staff, including Ava, and quickly realizes there's more to her than what he sees. A social media junkie, Ava has created multiple alternate personas for herself on the Internet. With his own job and credibility now in jeopardy, Noah must decide which doctor is at fault and who he can believe--before any more lives are lost.
