Beckett Campbell, the Hippocratic Oath has always been more of a suggestion than a guiding principle... Beckett is no ordinary pathologist, which is why he isn't surprised when a container with expertly removed organs arrive on his desk. What is alarming, however, is the note that accompanies them... the note that says that this is only the beginning, that more organs will be delivered on a weekly basis. And that the author of the note knows Beckett's darkest secrets, the ones that set him apart from other pathologists and even society in general. He can't go to the police, his colleagues, or even his closest friends for help. It's up to him alone to figure out where the organs came from, and in the process he finds himself locked in a sadistic cat-and-mouse game with a brutal killer that has him reevaluating his own unique moral code. And when Beckett finally discovers the shocking truth about where the organs come from, it has him asking the question, with more than 100,000 people waiting for an organ in the United States and less than 15,000 donors, who deserves to live and who deserves to die?

When the beautiful young Kathleen Talbot is assigned her first important case as a circuit court judge, she must confront more than her trial at hand. The case on the docket – a controversial “mercy killing” of a brain-dead victim by a vengeful officer – is a painful reminder of her own decision to have her terminally ill father’s life-support system cut off. At first, Kathleen’s sense of honor impels her to proceed, regardless of the consequences. But as the case progresses and the pressure mounts, she soon realizes that she, instead, has been put on trial. Meanwhile, with the position of executive judge up for grabs, political favours and backroom deals sweep through the courtroom, as judges are out to score the most votes. And Jane Whitehall, an ambitious and ruthless journalist, is determined to uncover a juicy, controversial story for the local paper. When Kathleen finds herself irresistibly attracted to Jeremiah Mitchell, the handsome, charismatic attorney for the defence, things become even more complicated. Despite her efforts to keep the relentless politics of the court from defeating her, the case suddenly explodes into hideously accusing headlines… And to what extent, will Kathleen’s honor protect her?
