Summary

Young doctor Gina Panzella deeply respects her boss, plastic surgeon Dr. Duncan Lathram. Charming and brilliant, Duncan has invented an implant that allows incisions to heal without scarring. Duncan's artistry in the operation 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. What caused his daughter's death and the breakup of his marriage? What is his connection to two committee members who died in accidents not long after Duncan operated on them? 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.

Praise for Implant:

“This one will keep you page-turning on those long nights.”
--USA Today

“A taut, battle-of-wits medical thriller that turns on vengeance.”
--Publishers Weekly

“The smoothness with which Wilson develops the plot, the fact that all the major characters are believable human beings, and the mounting excitement as the pieces of a murderous puzzle fall into place should keep the reader rapt to the last page.”
--Booklist

“This suspenseful medical thriller has complex, liable characters, an intriguing background, and it raises important questions by pitting self-serving bureaucrats against unethical physicians.  Definitely a cut above most.”
--Library Journal

“Believable medical suspense…Wilson’s most sensible, reined-in plot so far features an attractive and well-spoken villain whose warped take on things is understandable, if not justified….A terrific story.”
--Kirkus Reviews
