A Change of Heart

Dr. Nikhil Joshi is still an emotional wreck two years after witnessing the brutal murder of his wife, Jen, a doctor who was investigating a black-market organ transplant ring in Mumbai. He's been barely functioning in an alcoholic haze as a physician on a cruise ship. Now, a beautiful young woman called Jess tells him that she received Jen's heart in a transplant—and claims to have a message from Jen. How can Nikhil believe her? What does she want from him? Yet their mutual attraction grows as the two get caught up in a complicated mission to find the truth about Jen's killers. Their quest takes them from America to India as suspense slowly builds toward a satisfying if not surprising ending. The author of A Bollywood Affair and The Bollywood Bride, Dev takes on a tough subject here: the appalling abuse of the poor, especially unprotected young women, by merciless thugs.
