Transplant - JUST RELEASED!
About
Ruby Simon likes her orderly life on Catalina Island—her numbers neat, her world predictable. But when a routine audit uncovers something that doesn’t add up, the trail of money leads her off the island and into a world defined by privilege and desperation—where the powerful thrive on what the powerless can’t afford to lose.
As federal agents close in and a ruthless cartel tightens its grip, Ruby becomes the target of forces determined to silence her. To survive, she will have to risk everything to uncover the truth—her career, safety, and the illusion of control.
From the Southern California coast to the shadows of Mexico, Transplant is a gripping, atmospheric thriller about corruption and courage, complicity and conscience—and the quiet heroism of an ordinary woman who refuses to look away.
Praise for this book
"Lots of twists and turns. This one will keep you turning the page until too late at night. Well written with memorable characters, some you love and some you love to hate. Highly recommend."
"Breakneck pace and a likable underdog heroine.. TRANSPLANT is a fast-paced, high-adrenaline medical thriller. It moves like an ambulance with no brakes--straight into the next crisis. In her debut novel, Deborah Siminou plunges the reader into the frightening world of illegal, deadly surgeries against the backdrop of international intrigue. Ruby, an accountant with personal troubles, is a likable underdog heroine. The story reminded me of the tradition of Robin Cook, Michael Palmer, and Tess Gerritsen."
