Intern forensic pathologist Dr. Riley McKay has noticed irregularities in autopsies at the Allegheny County Coroner’s lab. Suspecting foul play, she seeks help from Dr. Nick Polchak, the “bug man” renowned for his ability to solve murders by analyzing the insects on victim’s bodies. Nick and Riley uncover a sinister link between the lab’s director and PharmaGen, a start-up drug company specializing in genetic research. They also discover that PharmaGen fronts an underground system to procure transplant organs for wealthy clients by finding and murdering matching donors. But PharmaGen learns of their security breach and orders the couple destroyed. While staying a step ahead of PharmaGen assassins, romantic attraction develops between Nick and Riley. But the attraction is complicated by a tragic secret that Riley hides — a secret closely tied to one member of PharmaGen’s operation which propels the novel to its astonishing conclusion.

Summary
From: Isaac Scego
Book Title: Chop Shop
Book Author: Tim Downs
What do you like about this book:
Summery::
This novel delivers humor, mystery, and lovable characters that the reader cares about and cheers for. And though Chop Shop is not as good as its predecessor, it still manages to be one of a kind--different, yet, familiar.
Sexual Content::
Romance between characters and a few kisses. A woman flirts briefly to get someone to change a tire. And some mildly rude quips.
Violent Content::
A crime scene features a corpse with stab wounds in his chest, followed by surgery, both bloody messes. A man is said to have been shot in the head. There are scenes of observation with corpses. Of course, talk of decomposition, punctured organs, and suicide.
Language::
Maybe a few potential misuses of God's name.
Drug/Alcohol Content::
A few references to drinking
Recommendation:: 4/5
