Medical Mysteries Fiction

Dopo Il Diario Segreto di Edgar Stone, la storia continua con un nuovo diario scritto da Javier Ruiz, un messicano cresciuto a Miami che decide di andare a cercare la sua fidanzata scomparsa, Amy Williams. Il cambio di narratore altera la prospettiva, offrendo una visione più emotiva e meno scientifica. L’amore e la passione prendono il posto dello scetticismo e il pragmatismo.

Alcuni vecchi personaggi riemergono mischiandosi a nuovi eroici avventurieri.
