I love this author's medical thrillers.

Back Cover Blurb:
Recently divorced surgeon Dr Kim Reggis is determined to remain a good father to his only child, Becky. One night he takes her to a fast-food restaurant for a feast of burgers and fries. But tragedy strikes when the young girl falls ill. She dies horrifically several days later as a result of poisoning by E.coli bacteria.
Everything suggests her death was the result of shoddy food-handling practices, but who is going to admit to that?
Frantic with grief, Kim throws all his energies into tracing the cause of the contamination. He is well prepared for bureaucratic indifference, but is soon met with terrifying violence as powerful vested interests conspire to discourage his enquiries.
Aided by his ex-wife, Kim pursues a deadly trail of complicity and guilt stretching from the slaughterhouse floor to the corporate boardroom. And, in a race against time before others are poisoned, they finally come face to face with the shocking and elusive truth.....meanwhile putting their own lives in extreme danger. ( )

Well, I have to say I enjoyed this book. However I have not eaten a Hamburger since. I recommended it to two of my friends who both read it aswell, although it hasn't affected their eating habits. ( )

I didn't enjoy this book as much as others I have read by Robin Cook. This book was more of a social statement on the meat packing industry, rather than an enjoyable novel. I found the actions of the main characters rather unbelievable at times. It was a book that I felt like I had to complete, rather than one I wanted to complete. ( )

Enough to make me think long and hard about eating another ground beef anything.
