Publisher's Synopsis
It was the same arrestingly beautiful woman he'd glimpsed in the crowd two nights ago. The smile hinted at mischief below the active, enchantingly dark eyes. He had once seen black star sapphires from Thailand, and the gems paled in comparison. His own reflection in the stainless steel surgical tray was that of a surgeon, fully gowned and masked. He stretched out a hand, passing it through the gowned assistant next to him until it made hard contact with the metal table. The hologram didn't change expression. His eyes drifted to the head of the bed. The breathing tube from the ventilator wasn't connected to the patient's face. That shouldn't be. In that same moment the patient's hand swept smoothly across the surgical tray, snatching up a scalpel. The hand arced sharply toward him... A futuristic virtual hospital in Kuala Lumpur. Created by the genius behind the U.S. command and control system for cyber warfare. And he's missing.
