Opis

Blaine Rutledge, director of the Mercy Family Planning Center, has a secret. In the basement, his mistress Marie Constantine, involved in a secret love affair of her own, is performing in vitro fertilizations on young women kidnapped from their homes by a person referred to as the "medical student."

Sara Dupont, a beautiful, young obstetrics resident inadvertently discovers the scheme while searching for a new admission's old records.

Meanwhile, a local preacher, Boyd Preston, and his son Prescott lead around-the-clock anti-abortion protests against the center. Suspecting foul play when Prescott goes missing, even an injunction obtained by Rutledge through dubious means will not keep the right reverend away.

Caught in a love triangle between Lance Dorf, her co-resident in obstetrics, and Jeff Michaels, chief radiology resident, Sara does not know whom to trust when several attempts, both real and imagined, are made on her life.

Leading to a captivating and page turning climax, these kidnappings, protests, affairs and killings, both attempted and successful, should have but one conclusion. Will Rutledge have his way with the babymakers, or will good trump evil? The answer is but a read away.
