Why read it?
1 author picked Cell as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it features an ordinary radiology resident, Dr. George Wilson, who gets caught up in an international conspiracy. Stories that feature an ordinary person faced with extraordinary circumstances and overcoming them are always going to keep my attention.

From Gary's list on thrillers featuring a medical professional.
