HEART OF GOLD

"Not since Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER have I read such a fascinating, fast-paced novel that delves into the world of procuring and selling human organs! A must read!" — Amazon Reviewer

______________________________________________

 Houston is world-renowned for its cutting-edge medical community, which represents an enormous benefit to all of mankind.  Well...maybe not always.

Operating secretly within this life-saving community, an international medical conglomerate secretly creates a state-of-the-art surgical center within the Texas Medical Center district in Houston to perform organ transplants for wealthy patients desperate to find a suitable match at any price. 

A concierge-style operation uses a rundown public clinic in Monterrey, Mexico, to source its organ matches, unbeknownst to the impoverished donors, who are led to believe they will be donating a kidney in return for much needed cash to support their families. 

FBI Special Agent Cortez, while investigating possible cartel connections to the recent murder of a prominent Houston physician, instead uncovers a scheme that shocks even the most jaded of law enforcement officers.

HEART OF GOLD is the fourth book in the Pete Cortez FBI Thriller series.
