Middlemen

"We don't want this in the press." Back matter: When Marvin Sid and his partner Ben Carter are killed on PCH in the early morning hours, authorities initially believe it might be a case of road rage. Others believe the two off-duty CHP officers were targeted due to their position in law enforcement. But when Carter's brother suffers a brutal attack just days after Ben's death, including the unauthorized harvesting of part of his liver, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and FBI are forced to unravel a string of sickening crimes against unwitting donors, which financially benefit a select private group of organ "middlemen." What has always appeared to be a selfless giving act has become big business for those in the field of organ procurement - big business with a lethal, immoral edge.
