false 32262 20 Former romance author and medical doctor Tess Gerritsen is writing in a new genre: medical suspense. Advertised as her "first novel," <i>Harvest</i> jumped onto the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller list and thus legions of new fans were introduced to the work of this talented author. Gerritsen's second thriller, <i>Life Support</i>, is as moving as any of her romances. Dr. Toby Harper works the night shift in an emergency room. More comfortable with the steady horror and tedium of emergency care than with a normal lifestyle, Toby alienates herself socially from her peers and from her sister.
