Book Review: Toxin by Robin Cook
Being a cardiac surgeon, Kim Reggis' life is complicated enough. Add a divorce and a critically ill daughter and his life goes from complicated to out of control. He is driven by his daughter Becky's pain to find out the cause of her disease, and runs into a plethora of problems. It turns out that E. Coli 0157:H7 is the exact bacteria that has Becky lying in the hospital, and Kim is willing to do whatever it takes to find out why. A trip to a popular fast food restaurant, The Onion Ring, gives him a few clues and a bit of trouble. His next stop is Mercer Meats, a meat-processing company. Conveniently, Kim runs into Marsha Baldwin, a USDA inspector. Together they go on a quest to stop the spread of E. Coli and to shut down Higgins and Hancock, a slaughter house. Kim's ex wife Tracy steps in for Marsha when she turns up missing while investigating Higgins and Hancock! This leads Kim to believe that there is something mysterious going on in the meat-processing industry and decides to get to the bottom of it for good! The underlying question through all of this is: Will Becky fight off the E. Coli? And what happens to Marsha Baldwin? Packed with suspense and gruesome truths, Toxin is definitely a great read for those who enjoy solving the unlikely!
