Title: Contagion - Robin Cook - book

Summary :

After the tragic deaths of his wife and daughters, John Stapleton, a coroner in New York, no longer expects anything from life. However, he is about to be torn from indifference and cynicism by a series of inexplicable deaths: patients are victims of viruses long since eradicated, such as the plague. All were being treated in hospitals run by the powerful insurance company Americare, to whom he owes the bankruptcy of his own ophthalmology practice.

An encounter with Terese, an advertising executive working on a campaign for Americare's main competitor, will prompt him to seek out the source of the evil. They will both discover a plan of inhuman horror.

The author of Risque mortel, himself a former surgeon and ophthalmologist, takes us through a merciless war where the hospital environment, obsessed with profitability, does not hesitate in the face of organized crime... An irresistible thriller, at the same time as a cry of alarm in the face of the excesses of a medicine subject to the law of profit.
