Bone Slice (Gina Mazzio RN Medical Thriller Series)

Passion, Jealousy, Greed, Love ... and Robotics Back from an idyllic beach wedding and honeymoon on romantic Kauai, Gina and Harry have barely unpacked when Ridgewood Hospital sends them off on an intriguing assignment to learn about and report on surgical robotics at a Santa Cruz area hospital. Intrigue turns to fear as they’re plunged into the midst of a deadly clash between hands-on-medicine traditionalists and those eager to dive headlong into the futurist whirlpool of robotics. The newlyweds are harassed, threatened, and kidnapped as a result of their efforts to discover who is hacking the robotic units and causing bloody mayhem in the surgery suites. Gina and Harry eventually report back to Ridgewood that robots are not only accurate, fast, and efficient, they can also be used to commit murder. Advance praise for BONE SLICE: “A terrific read! The pages fly in a provocative look at modern medicine. Gina Mazzio and Harry Lucke are characters worth rooting for. Bette and J.J. Lamb write superb dialogue. Plan to find a comfortable chair and stay up late. Highly recommended.” — Sheldon Siegel, New York Times best-selling author of Special Circumstances. “A sexy and creepy contemporary medical thriller about modern technology. This story is so realistic that the horror could someday become a reality at a hospital near you.” —Peter Heinlein, MD
