Publisher's Synopsis
As the honored guest at a Hong Kong medical conference, neurosurgeon Lucas McCrae prepares to demonstrate a surgical procedure by removing a cloth covering a cadaver head and is overwhelmed to see the face of his lifelong friend, Andy Baer, staring back at him. Stunned, McCrae races back to Seattle to discover Andy missing. As he digs into his friend's disappearance, suspicion grows that he was "harvested" by the owner of a legitimate funeral business who makes a fortune dealing body parts for medical research. Teaming up with an unlikely pair-a beautiful, hardnosed female detective and a gang member whose family was victimized by the body parts ring-McCrae exposes a macabre web of corruption. Wyler's Dead Ringer is the quintessential, breath-stealing medical thriller.
