El paciente

By Juan Gómez-Jurado

Book Overview

In this superbly written, nail-biting thriller, a top neurosurgeon is forced to choose between ending the life of the most important person in America or guaranteeing his own daughter's horrifying death. I am no saint, no martyr, no terrorist, no madman, and no murderer...I am a father. That's my story. Dr. David Evans is a well-respected brain surgeon at a hospital in Washington, DC, and a devoted father. But soon he is faced with the ultimate dilemma: if his next patient, who must undergo brain surgery, leaves the operating table alive, Dr. Evans's kidnapped daughter will die at the hands of an implacable psychopath--and he will be forced to watch. Over the course of fifty-five frantic hours counting down to his choice in the surgery room, Dr. Evans races to hunt down his pursuer and find a way out of this nightmarish predicament. But just how far will he go to save his daughter's life? "A roller coaster ride of fear and excitement unparalleled in modern fiction" ( New York Times bestselling author Katherine Neville), Point of Balance will keep you on the edge of your seat with fast-paced action and raw emotion, as one man faces an impossible moral dilemma that could change the course of history.
