      A psychological medical thriller regarding the use of biotechnology to control the minds of people. Morgan Finney heads a biomedical technology firm. He lost his wife, Jenny, after her appendectomy operation and expected recovery failed. Finney wants revenge on the surgeon who performed the appendectomy, Rita Wu. Finney, along with an associate, Sebastian, plant a device into Rita's brain, allowing them to control her thoughts by sending impulses. As an extra precaution to manipulate Rita, they also plant one in Rita's sister's brain (Darcy). Finney can also speak to Rita and command her to perform certain tasks. I enjoyed this book, although I thought the climax/conclusion between Rita, Finney, Sebastian, and Spencer (Rita's doctor boyfriend) was a bit out there in terms of plausibility. However, the concept of this biotechnology was frightening! A chilling thriller.
