About Mortal Choice:
In the shadow world of black-market kidneys, a single mother and FBI agent faces a terrible choice. Can she conspire with the killers she is investigating to get her daughter a life-saving kidney?
Through the vehicle of a tense murder mystery, Shactman has created a story that will pull on the heartstrings of any parent. What if it was your daughter? Would you compromise your morals? Would you break the law? How far would you go to save the life of your only child?
