Summary: IF this is the book I'm thinking of...
Comment: I read this book about 7 years ago. The reason I am thinking of it now is that I am reading Gillian Bradshaw's THE WRONG REFLECTION and I would be willing to bet that she drew upon this book for a part of the plot of hers. And I'm glad to see it! I remember THE DONORS as being a novel unlike any I have ever read with outrageously surprising action from page to page. It was a literal page-turner with events that were so alarming, I found myself flipping back and forth to be sure I had read it correctly!! (And happily so!)

I don't remember the names of the characters, but the action centers around a man who has been kidnapped and put through plastic surgery, reconstructive dental work,a series of broken bones, and other ordeals in order to make him look like an evil dictator. All this is done so that the death of that dictator can be staged, and the protagonists dead body put in the dictator's place. In that way,no one will look for the dictator! Everyone will believe he is dead!

As it turns out, the evil, nefarious organization that does this sort of thing does it all the time. Average people are always being "disappeared" because of their resemblance to someone famous who wishes to go into hiding!

Again, IF this is the book I'm thinking of, I truly enjoyed it, and am glad to see the concept behind it drawn upon again (IF that is the case!!) I'll have to spend 72 cents and find out if this is the one I'm thinking of!
