The Universal Donor

Virginia Lee, a dedicated herpetologist, faces a life-threatening snake bite while racing through Los Angeles traffic to reach her lover, emergency physician Terry McKechnie. With a decaying antidote and a makeshift tourniquet, she battles against time and her own dwindling hopes, as her rare blood type is critical for survival. The narrative explores themes of love, desperation, and moral complexity in contemporary America, all woven into Craig Nova's gripping prose that captivates with suspense and emotional depth.
