Eric's older brother, Duane is killed in an accident and his organs are given to three very different people in need.
Eric is still really grieving, as you can imagine. A group affiliated with the organ donation process arranges opportunite for the donor's family to meet the folks who received "pieces" from their loved one. Eric is willing to do this and meets the single mom who got Duane's kidney, a young, naive teen who received some part of Duane's ear and a fairly obnoxious guy with who now is giving Duane's liver a workout with a lot of partying.
Duane's old girlfriend comes back into town, just hearing about Duane's death as she was doing humanitarian work out of the country.
This book was good but it seemed to drag for me in some places. I just read that it is a sequel to the book Iceman. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more had I read the first one. But look at that cover! Dude. Wow. Terrible.
Still, a good book. I ended up giving it four of five stars.
