Synopsis

This "trimmed-to-the-bone medical cliff-hanger" by the New York Times bestselling author is "as good as the best of Robin Cook" (James Patterson).

Any student should consider themselves lucky to receive an invitation to apply to the Ingraham College of Medicine. About an hour outside of Washington DC, it's one of the most respected and prestigious institutions of its kind in the United States. With the school completely subsidized by the Kleederman Foundation, students receive a full-ride scholarship for all four years, including room and board. That's a hard deal for Quinn Cleary to pass up.

But after she and her new friend, Tim Brown, gain entrance into this dream school, everything soon becomes a waking nightmare as student after student begins behaving as if they were brainwashed. Now Quinn and Tim must hurry to uncover the dark truth before it's too late . . .
