Review:
How does the organ donor transport firm MedEx come up with so many needed body parts so quickly, and at such good prices? Dr. Nguyen-Anh Dupree, a Vietnamese American physician working in Mexico for the charitable group Doctors Without Borders, stumbles on the nasty answer: MedEx is also in the business of transporting illegal aliens. And then there's the link between MedEx and the giant health care firm Caduceus 21 that is about to launch a huge stock offering. In the hands of journalist Tony Chiu, this debut thriller crosses several genre borders and topical time zones without losing its considerable energy and imagination.
From the Publisher:
"A chilling medical thriller."
--Kirkus Reviews
--Kirkus Reviews
"Colorful characters and gleefully nasty plotting...[Chiu's] pacing is breakneck...his writing smooth, and his villains, rife with money and CIA connections, deliciously heinous."
--Publishers Weekly
"A medical thriller about the murderous traffic of human organs, Positive Match is so disturbingly real because it could be true."
--Book-of-the-Month Club Views
"Chiu combines high-tech electronics, cutting-edge medicine, treachery, and just plain greed in a compelling novel."
--Booklist
"Nearly impossible to put down. Ferociously plotted and fast-moving."
--The Sciences
