"I did it. It looked like an accident, just as we discussed. It was perfect." When Darla Kelly wakes up in a hospital—confused, disoriented, and alone—she can't help but add it to the list of personal tragedies that have left her reeling. First, her beloved father, a well-respected cardiac surgeon, suspiciously drowns, leaving her alone, without family. And when she lands in the hospital, floating in and out of consciousness, Dar struggles to recall the car accident that put her there. She begins to see her past sheltered life as some pleasant shattered illusion. But when she's kidnapped from her hospital bed and unable to fight back, Dar fears the worst. She must escape, but someone is trying to kill her captors. Not knowing who she can trust, Dar's search for answers causes her to stumble into the center of a major medical conspiracy—one that if left unsolved will result in countless children's deaths . . . and possibly her own.
