A devoted wife and mother faces the unimaginable as her life crumbles.
Crystal Rigler seems to have a perfect marriage. Derek, her handsome and charismatic husband, and their adult daughter, Cordelia, are her whole world. In addition to her already busy life, Crystal supports the volunteer organization she and Derek started: STOP (Stop Transplants of Organs from Prisoners).
STOP aims to end a new government policy of harvesting organs from executed prisoners. They learn that these organs are not distributed by the national transplant list, established to allocate organs fairly. Instead, a shadowy figure known as Broker Al pulls the strings. He expedites the execution of young and healthy prisoners and sells their organs at a high price to the rich and well-connected.
After Crystal learns a disturbing secret, events are set in motion that will potentially dismantle STOP, change her life, and cost her everything. Unless she is willing to do the unthinkable…
When a sinister plot is uncovered linking fast-tracked sentencing for death row prisoners and high-profile organ recipients, it’s up to one woman to sound the alarm.
With The Organ Broker, author Deven Greene creates a cautionary tale about what could happen with a lack of oversight regarding organ donation.
Derek and Crystal Rigler run a volunteer organization called STOP (Stop Transplants of Organs from Prisoners), which means they are on the frontlines.
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered two main characters as unlikable as these two but for vastly different reasons. Derek’s smug, arrogant attitude, along with his penchant for cheating, serves as a contrast for Crystal. While Derek whines about quitting his job because he feels underappreciated, Crystal swallows her chronic pain and pulls shifts at a local nursing home.
Crystal shows signs of being a strong character, but her inner voice and actions aren’t in sync. Family is important to her, which plays a pivotal role as the storyline develops.
Ultimately, unexpected events transpire, delivering a satisfying ending.
The Organ Broker serves up a moral dilemma full of twists and turns.
Deven Greene lives in Northern California, where she enjoys writing fiction, most of which involves science or medicine. She has degrees in biochemistry (PhD) and medicine (MD), and practiced pathology for over twenty years.
She has previously published the The Erica Rosen MD Trilogy (Unnatural, Unwitting, and Unforeseen), and Ties That Kill, as well as several short stories.
