This book wasn't bad, but it wasn't the medical thriller I have come to expect from Robin Cook. While the story was about the two medical examiners that have become regulars in his books in recent years, they didn't embark on any true medical mysteries, with the book instead taking on a Dan Brown like feel in its inquiry into the validity of the Catholic Church. Additionally, the ending was very disappointing, but form the lack of emotion form the characters involved and the fact that it was just to neat and pretty for (almost) all involved.
