Scarcity

  In Randall Wood's Scarcity, the third installment in the Jack Randall thriller series, this installment deals with organ transplantation across the board. It all started when Anita Ruiz was kidnapped in Mexico City, and Tessa Lamar crashed her car in Washington D.C.--one loses her life and another gets one from Mexico--those two were among other senseless tragedies when one life was stolen for another, when it was scarce for seriously ill patients get a new organ around the world. For FBI Jack Randall, he's on the case when he learned about a secret operation that deals with drug smuggling from Mexico to the USA and a black market sting to procure hearts. And how one notorious drug carter leader is the next victim to get a new heart on the transplant list. That's when Jack and Interpol Agent Lenny Hill deals with serious matters on where these new hearts came from. For two heart surgeons, they deal with two patients whose lives were in their hands and how they kept the hearts freshly going with a POPS machine, a new device for the medical world. In a matter of life and death, this fast-pace thriller would keep you guessing right to the end on how it came to a head and a heartbeat away...

This was a very dramatic thriller that has some medical thriller elements in it to keep you at the edge of your seat. I did feel bad for Tessa Lamar and for little Anita, who were two of the young victims that had gotten sucked into this devious and heinous plot. I did care for Jack on how he uncovered the sinister mastermind behind it and how some evil cretins had gotten their just desserts. I did like the vast locations from Mexico City to the USA and Afghanistan that has some startling and also mesmerizing scenic settings through and through in this gripping thriller.  This would keep you hooked and reel you in on a wild and dangerous ride with non-stop action, plenty of suspense, a helping of medical drama, and a dose of mystery to keep you enthralled right to the end.
