When perfectly executed suicides deliver pristine donor hearts, cardiologist-turned-novelist Cristina LePort reveals the terrifying intersection of heart transplantation and organized crime in her medical thriller "Change of Heart." Host Blaine DeSantis explores how a mafia don's cybercrime operation manipulates organ donation networks while FBI probationary agent Charlotte Bloom races to stop the conspiracy - all while hiding that her own heart is failing. Drawing from her medical expertise, LePort crafts a world where the 12-hour "heart box" technology meant to save lives becomes a sinister tool in the wrong hands. As family secrets and questions of identity emerge, the line between savior and predator blurs in modern medicine. Discover how this pulse-pounding thriller exposes vulnerabilities in our healthcare systems that could make anyone question: just how secure is the technology protecting our most vital organs - and our very identities?
