"Em quase todos os sentidos esse 12 de junho era como qualquer outro 12 de junho, com um fenômeno curioso. Ocorreram três incidentes totalmente não-relacionados, mas que causariam um trágico encontro na vida de três das pessoas envolvidas."

I didnt expect the ending to go the way it did. Looking back it might've been an easy guess but it took me by surprise!

It's quite a bit different from the movie, so don't expect there to be similarities. It focuses more on Jack Stapleton's life and his adventure dealing with being a Medical Examiner in a new city.

I really enjoyed it. The few commonalities with Covid-19 are worrisome, but it's not too bad. Great read.

Second book of the Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery series. This one is focused on Jack, since he's the new character in town. He's the all American boy for the all American plot, in which he is the hero against the world. Of course, he will withdraw any information he collected until it's too late, but the deus ex machina will save the day!

I don't read Robin Cook for the plot, to be honest, but because I like the science(fiction) that is he's starting point. Every time he takes a plausible medical topic, makes it dark and twisted and molds it with the same cookie cutter plot. I'm entertained, and that's more than enough.
