The Organ Grinder

By Steve Wickersham

THE ORGAN GRINDER: the antidote to Young Adult trilogies featuring mopey sparkly teenage vampires and shirt-shifting werewolves; endless stumbling zombie TV serials; children's books about pubescent wizards; and romance novels with vampires who talk too much and suck too little.According to the most recent published government statistics there are more than 121,272 people on waiting lists for solid organ transplants. About 4,100 transplant candidates are added to the national waiting list each month. About 28,954 people have received transplants and about 79 people receive organ transplants every day; but about 18 people die each day waiting for transplants that can't take place because of a shortage of donated organs. And the number of people needing a transplant continues to rise faster than the number of donors. But for those wealthy individuals with more money than time, there may be another way...What do an exiled New York City bartender, a Florida County Medical Examiner, a once well-respected surgeon with a big gambling problem, an aging Rock Star, and a gang of New Jersey mobsters that can best be described as 'disorganized crime', all have in common.Only one thing. Darlene.
