Pulse
A transplant patient unravels the mysterious death of his heart donor in this “greased-lightning thriller from the Pulitzer-winning crime reporter” (Kirkus).
If Daniel Alexander had not committed suicide, Frank Douglas would never have lived to see his forty-fifth birthday. Alexander’s heart now beats strong and sure in Douglas’s chest. The donated organ has given the successful Miami businessman a second chance . . . but it gives him no peace.
Disturbed by nagging feelings of guilt, Frank sets out to discover all he can about his benefactor. His search leads him to Rory Alexander—Daniel’s beautiful, enigmatic wife—and to troubling questions about the late man’s affairs. Why, for example, have the profits from Alexander’s business ventures mysteriously vanished? And why is Rory so unshakably certain that her husband was murdered? Pursuing the answers leads Frank into a twisted tale of greed, secrets, and savagery—one that puts his newly grated life in serious peril.
