When a Syrian refugee surgeon is forced to harvest organs to save her dying daughter, she uncovers a trafficking network that reaches the highest levels of power. Dr. Laila Hassan fled Syria with nothing but her medical degree and her eight-year-old daughter, Amira, who desperately needs a kidney transplant. Trapped in a Turkish refugee camp with no access to medical care, she faces an impossible choice when the camp's director offers her a deal: perform five illegal organ extractions, and Amira gets her kidney. But nothing is as it seems. With the help of Maksym Volkov, a Ukrainian journalist searching for his missing sister, Laila discovers the trafficking network extends far beyond the camp-reaching European ministers, military commanders, and even her own family's devastating past. As the clock ticks down on Amira's life, Laila must navigate a web of betrayal where every ally might be an enemy, every surgery could be murder, and the only way to save her daughter might be to destroy everything she's sworn to protect as a doctor. THE HARVEST is a heart-pounding medical thriller that exposes the dark underbelly of organ trafficking while exploring the lengths a mother will go to save her child. Perfect for fans of Robin Cook and Tess Gerritsen, this novel combines authentic medical detail with international intrigue and an emotional depth that will leave readers breathless. "Impossible is just what we haven't done yet." Content Warning: This book contains intense medical scenes and deals with themes of child endangerment and organ trafficking.
