David Reel, Washington, D.C. plastic surgeon and researcher, is about to make medical history. After two successful trial surgeries, his new creation, a second generation lab-grown skin, promises to be a miracle for burn victims. But beneath the fanfare, David is an emotionally tortured soul, haunted by the deaths of his mother and best friend in a horrific fire years before. Now, while managing his legitimate surgical practice, David is pursuing a more ungodly quest deep in the confines of his lab. That, however, is just the beginning of the nightmare, when he discovers that an unrelenting psychopath is out to destroy him. With his patients doomed and David on the verge of a breakdown, he has one final surprise for the medical community. Something so bizarre, so horrifying, not even his nemesis could have imagined it. And it will push David Reel to the brink of insanity and beyond . . .

Skin Deep,
This review is from: Skin Deep (Paperback)
Fast pacing and a no-nonsense writing style combine with a plot full of twists and turns. If you like your novels fast, lean and packing a punch, this is the book for you. A page turner, hard to put down. Robin Cook has met his match!

rough copy?,

This review is from: Skin Deep (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first book I read by this author. I'm a huge fan of medical mysteries, so I thought I'd give him a try. As far as the story goes, the book kept me very interested and I finished it in no time. It was a decent plot that kept me going. However, I had a very difficult time getting past all of the grammatical and editorial errors in this book. I don't expect an author to be perfect as far as structure and grammar, but I expect his editor to catch most of these errors. It was almost as if I had received a rough copy of this book before it was widely published.
That being said, I will probably try this author again becuase I do think he wrote an interesting story.

Exciting medical thriller,

This review is from: Skin Deep (Paperback)
Skin Deep is an exciting medical thriller that never slows down due to the frantic actions of the lead female antagonist. The story, though, belongs to David whose efforts to hide his 'secret" provide constant suspense and surprise. The supporting cast augments the plot with strong characterizations that move the story along. The deliberate fast pace creates an exhilarating thriller that readers are sure to love.
