Author Information

Dr. Eldo E Frezza presents a gripping tale that offers a rare peek into the world of surgical procedures, medical fraud, and the unsettling nexus of human and organ trafficking. Comparable in suspense to Tess Gerritsen's ""The Surgeon,"" this narrative introduces John Savino, a unique amalgamation of surgeon and FBI agent, tasked with unearthing the truth behind a web of deceit. Set against the backdrop of authentic hospital experiences, Frezza crafts a storyline reminiscent of Robin Cook's works, echoing the chilling realism of medical malpractice and institutional corruption. Comparable to published works, ""Twisted Needle"" resonates with the gripping suspense and intricate storytelling of Tess Gerritsen's ""The Surgeon."" While Gerritsen's novel features Detective Rizzoli collaborating with Dr. Isles, ""Twisted Needle"" takes a unique approach with protagonist John Savino, a rare blend of surgeon and FBI agent. Drawing parallels to the authenticity of Robin Cook's exploration of medical malpractice in ""Coma"" and ""Crisis,"" Eldo Frezza crafts a narrative that delves into the dark underbelly of hospital organizations with meticulous detail. Much like Michael Palmer's ""Fatal,"" Frezza's series ventures beyond US borders, incorporating international settings to enrich the narrative tapestry.
