The Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery series is Robin Cook’s longest-running character franchise. The two New York City medical examiners first appeared in “Blindsight” (1991) and have carried 15 novels over more than three decades.
Each book drops the pair into a new medical crisis — from genetic engineering and bioterrorism to pandemic outbreaks and hospital corruption. Cook, himself a physician, uses the series to explore real anxieties about modern medicine through a thriller lens.
