New York Times bestselling author Robin Cook returns with another ripped-from-the-headlines medical thriller, as medical detective Jack Stapleton investigates the promises—and deadly risks—of alternative medicine and is led deep into the heart of a religious conspiracy...

Medical examiners and husband-and-wife pair Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery are consumed with worry for their young son, who has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. But, as always, Jack turns to his work for solace; after performing a postmortem on a promising young woman who had recently been treated by a chiropractor, he begins researching alternative medicine as a way to avoid obsessing about his child’s illness.

Meanwhile, Jack’s college buddy, a renowned archaeologist and biblical scholar, makes a spectacular find at a souk in Cairo: an ancient codex, whose contents may vault him to international fame—and jeopardize the very nature of papal infallibility. And the bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, another former classmate, turns to Jack to help safeguard an explosive secret, one with the power to change lives forever...©2009 Robin Cook; (P)2009 Penguin Genre Fiction Medical Medical & Forensic Thriller & Suspense

Critics' reviews

Praise for Intervention:

“Cook can write up a storm and spin a taut tale, every chapter of which ends on a cliff-hanger all the way up to an unforeseen conclusion. In the hands of a master, in other words, such confections have real possibilities—and Cook more than delivers.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Lively.”—The Oklahoman

After having some initial difficulties to adjust to the narrator, i quite like him now. I enjoyed listening to the story and like the characters - only this time I found the story quite far fetched and unbelievable. Also it included some high jumps to illogical conclusions. let's see what the next one brings!

far fetched

Zwei nicht wirklich zusammengehörige Story Lines dennoch verwoben erzählt. In den ersten zwei Dritteln mit übermäßigen Details ausgestattet, gegen Ende zu überstürzt einen Abschluss findend.
Cook war schon besser, George Guidal wie immer genial.

Detail beladener Anfang – überstürztes Ende
