About this listen

Dr. Duncan Lathram is a brilliant plastic surgeon who recently invented a dissolving implant that allows incisions to heal without scarring. His unparalleled artistry in the operating room is the salvation of all the biggest power players in Washington, DC, whenever they need to be TV ready. Lathram appears to have it all, but something isn’t right....

When young Gina Panzella isn’t hustling as a house doctor at a local community hospital, she assists Dr. Lathram with surgery. She’s known him almost her entire life and respects him deeply, yet there are a few things about him she can’t quite figure out - like why so many of his patients are mysteriously dying.

Overcome with suspicion and fear, Panzella enlists the help of Gerry Canney, a high school classmate now working with the FBI, to dig deep into the doctor’s past. Soon they will discover what Lathram is truly capable of....

I am a massive fan of F. Paul Wilson. I've listened to the entire Repairman Jack series and all of the Adversary Cycle, along with a few of his other stand alone works... That said, this just didn't hit the mark for me.

It takes too long to get going and the story is really simple and unsurprising. There is a few little twists, but they are pretty easy to see coming. The dialogue and descriptive writing are up to his usual standard, but it just feels as if the story is missing something to make it stand out.

It isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination... Just nothing special.

Not what I expect from Wilson
