About this item
Dr. Nic Joshi had it all--marriage, career, purpose--until, while working for Doctors without Borders in a Mumbai slum, his wife, Jen, discovered a black market organ-transplant ring. Before she could expose the truth, Jen was killed. Two years after the tragedy, Nic is a cruise ship doctor who spends his days treating seasickness and sunburn and his nights in a boozy haze. On one of those blurry evenings on deck, Nic meets a woman who makes the startling claim that she received Jen's heart in a transplant and has a message for him. Nic wants to discount Jess Koirala's story as absurd, but there is something in her reckless desperation that resonates despite his doubts. Jess, who left a nightmarish life in Calcutta for a respectable dance troupe, faces losing the one thing that matters--her young son.
