USA Today bestselling authors Lisa Harris and Lynne Gentry deliver an unforgettable and chilling medical thriller about a mother willing to risk everything for her child, and a surgeon desperate to cover his crimes.

A brutal murder convinces Dr. Mia Kendall there's more than she imagined to the mysterious spike in heart transplant rejections. Determined to find answers before she loses another patient, Mia gets sucked into a dangerous international medical web. With time running out for her youngest transplant recipient, Mia is forced to partner with a disillusioned ex-military pilot who flies brokered organs across East Africa. But searching for the truth will prove costly, because there are some lines that should never be crossed.

A haunting story that will take you from the suburbs of Cincinnati to the jungles of Africa.

"This well-plotted action-packed thriller will keep you glued to the pages long into the night." ~Elizabeth Goddard, author

Dear Reader,

In June, 2008 the Dallas Morning News carried a story on the atrocities committed against albinos in Tanzania. The picture of a terrified albino caught our attention. As we read about the horrors these fragile people face, we couldn't believe that such evil existed in the world. We did a little investigation and discovered that the genocide of albinos was being carried out simply because of the difference in the color of their skin.

The journey of these characters challenged us, comforted us, and pushed us to live life more courageously. But most of all, writing this story opened our hearts to wanting to do our part to create a world that loves no matter what the color of our skin, education, financial status, or nationality. And reminded us that God's light truly does shine, even in the darkest places.

Readers are saying. . .

"Gripping, riveting, unnerving."

"Ghost Heart delivers on every level! What a romantic, adventurous ride!!! This well-plotted action-packed thriller had me glued to the pages."

"This is a novel that grabs you by the throat on the very first page and doesn't let go until the very end."

"This book is by far the best book I have read in many years. Absolutely outstanding."

"There are very few books that have taken my soul to places like I have just experienced by reading Ghost Heart."

"This was truly an edge of your seat medical thriller!"

"WOW!! Excellent book -- fast paced suspense -- will have you on the edge of your seat."

"This book was absolutely the best. Fast moving, page turner, and very hard to put down."

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Lynne Gentry!

I love small towns and people watching. Observing body language. Catching the twitch of an eyebrow, the flicker of discomfort in a gaze, or the shifting of nervous feet.

As a professional acting coach-theater director turned fiction author, I love using my crazy imagination to entertain you with my books. My works range from the highly-rated science fiction time travel series (Carthage Chronicles), medical thrillers (GHOST HEART), to small town southern romantic comedy series (the Mt. Hope Southern Adventures and the Women of Fossil Ridge). Readers are cheering this return to my small town roots. You'll laugh and cry as these heartwarming adventures drop you in the middle of small-town Texas life.

I love spending time with my family or working the hospital oncology wards with my medical therapy dog.

5.0 out of 5 stars very moving story!
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017

What a heart (no pun intended) gripping story has been written by these two gifted authors! Just wait until you read in the back of the book what spurred this novel to be written! If a little bit of graphic descriptions of body parts and blood bother you, please try not to let that keep you from reading this tale with a very surprising ending.
The story is staged both here in the United States and Africa, telling about organ donation and procurement. Along with that storyline is another about pharmaceutical testing of medicines and ultimately about greed with its consequences. Remember, this is fiction even though as I read the book I could envision all that was described as taking place. Here is a very good way of giving us insight into what parents of children or adults go through when needing an organ replacement.
I felt for the doctor fighting for her patient’s survival in a small village in Africa while another doctor was after money, prestige and playing upon the superstition of the villagers. Dr. Mia Kendall would befriend the villagers and help to save lives no matter the cost to her personally. Race was the pilot who would transport the organs to the hospitals and as Dr. Kendell shared her suspicions, he risks a lot to help. Could there be a blossoming romance between the pilot and doctor?
Here is a thriller that will cause your heart to race and have you staying up until all hours reading as you reach the very action-packed ending! The novel is one of the best and one of my favorites for this year thus far! Though truth be told I have many favorites being a voracious reader, lol!

I really liked the characters in the book and the way it kept you in suspense, always wanting more. Some of the harsher scenes made my skin crawl and were not real comfortable, but the story line seemed genuine and well thought out. The ending was somewhat sad but satisfying at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Heart Gripping novel with truth at the core!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019

Books that are entertaining as well as educational are at the top of my ‘favs’ list. GhostHeart is at the top of that list. As it unfolds a to-this-day social, medical, and major personal issue, it grabs your heart with the full implications involved in the need for organs for transplantation. As a result of this huge need, now that doing this life-saving procedure has become hugely common, man’s greed and deception to ‘solve a problem and make a ton of money at the same time’ becomes the justifying component that here results in a crime that repulses even a hardened soul.
Enter that horrific monster of justifying illegal organ procurement from Albinos in Africa who already have a social system that scorns and even fears them from birth. They become the target of illegal human poaching, which in Ghost Heart centers around an infant’s heart which some believe would be better off in the chest of a very needy Caucasian girl about ready to loose her fight of waiting. Her desperate mother, having no idea of the illegalities involved, only wants her daughter to have a fighting chance for a full life, one she has fought to have for nearly all of her five years. Add a top notch American pediatric cardiac surgeon and Pilot who have both come to Africa to bury their respective personal pain, and you have the needed topics and romance thrown in which make this novel difficult to sit down!
Never a moment to wonder if you’re wasting your time, this book has plenty of scenes that grip your attention as well as Your heart, expanding your knowledge and awareness at the same time. Well worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible medical thriller!
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

Though Mia Kendall and Race Daniels are the two main characters in this wonderful story there are a number of very important people throughout the book. They are all amazingly well developed and written.

I was caught up in the heartbreaking circumstances that both Jeme and Catherine were trapped in. I desperately wanted everything to work out for both of them as well as their families.

The danger and mystery that Mia and the others faced was so remarkably well crafted that I was captivated by the story. I got sucked into this book and at times I was completely unaware of what was going on around me.

I received a free copy of this book from the author. I have chosen to write this review to express my personal opinion.

This is definitely not for the faint hearted people, it will tug at one’s emotions, as Race an ex military pilot and Mia fly into Tanzania. The plight of organs, badly needed for the young and old, the cost is high. Others are caught up in this international web, for power and greed. A blue baby, albino skin, a curse, to a mother a blessing, time is of the essence, without help she flees.Mia is searching, not to fail another patient of hers. Something or someone is causing them to fail. Another story that will lead you to the end, hoping they have the time. The characters are portrayed very well.

An exceptional story which is both heart-rending and at the same time extremely interesting and enjoyable. This is the first Lisa Harris story I have read and if the next one by her and co-author Lynne Gentry is anything like this one, I can't wait. The facts in this story were also very enlightening - it's sometimes hard to believe that such things still happen in or so-called civilised society - we get so absorbed in our own lives that these things seem unreal. A timely reminder. Would love a sequel on where Mia and Race go from here!!

Put yourself in this/these young mothers' shoes - would go to such extremes for your little child? Of course you would, and I can only hope none of the readers of this medical thriller need make such a choice. A gripping, terrifying read about 'Organ Tourism'. I shuddered with every page I could not bear to stop reading. Fully deserving five star rating. I would like to read more by this author!
