It's taken a lot of fast talking from his wife and doctor to convince him, but he's finally capitulated. While in preoperative holding and just minutes before his surgery, Spencer recognizes the donor of his new heart-a man guilty of a ruthless crime. Spencer's sedation makes it impossible for him to protest this unimaginable horror, and he loses consciousness before anything can be done.Spencer's doctor, chief heart-transplant surgeon Ross Fairing, confronts his own consternation that a courageous and innovative operation has created an ethical conundrum that could destroy his transplant program. But even more, it could erode the public's trust in its physicians, reduce the criminal justice system to ineptitude, and facilitate civil disorder.Spencer survives the surgery but becomes suicidal, leading Fairing to uncover a deadly hospital conspiracy.
