Jeremy Cramer, M.D. is the next Einstein of infectious disease
research. While working on a way to revive water submersion victims, he makes
a breakthrough discovery in AIDS research that thrusts him into the center of
a media frenzy.
But the publicity turns negative and his marriage reaches the breaking point
when he accidentally infects a colleague and his negligence allows his son to
contract a life-threatening disease. The viruses test the limits of his new
formula and his ethics.
In his frantic efforts to save his son and his marriage, he must decide
whether to allow his child to die or violate the rights of a young transplant
donor. The choice forces him to stand face-to-face with the unfathomable love
required to sacrifice an only son.
Coming September 30 from Cook.

Sandra
Glahn’s Informed Consent delivers a fast-paced medical thriller that
sharply weaves cutting-edge medical science and good storytelling to produce a
book that engages the reader both intellectually and emotionally. With
satisfying characters who face past deaths—both physical ones and the daily
dying of dreams and expectations—and the slim hope of present resurrections,
Glahn explores life-changing themes and life-challenging dilemmas. Expect to
stay up too late reading it. I did. — David Gregory, bestselling author of
Dinner with a Perfect Stranger

intelligent thriller with shocking twists and a very satisfying ending!"

“Taut with emotional suspense, author
Sandra Glahn catapults readers into the world of medical ethics, exploring the
desperate lengths folks will go to find a cure. With expertly drawn
characters, a Grisham-paced plot, and intelligent writing, Informed
Consent is everything I like about medical thrillers.” —

the Tree Limbs
“Informed Consent is a wonderful and accurate portrayal of
struggles in the medical profession. Guilt, doubt, fear and pride are
palpable as the ultimate decision is faced—an excellent example of the
complexity seen in modern biomedical ethics.”

was hooked from the prologue. In her first solo novel, Glahn master wordsmiths
a must-read plot combination: a spicy dose of controversial ethics and
deception, mixed in with heart-wrenching drama, which excels as a true
nail-biting thriller. I loved Informed Consent!” — Lesa Engelthaler, author, Dallas
