“From blood work to blood play – this thriller takes the reader from the hi tech world of academic medical research to the subculture of body parts dealers”

Grady Harp, Top 4 Amazon Reviewer, had this to say about CODE BLOOD:

Kurt Kamm has proven in his previous novels – ONE FOOT IN THE BLACK and RED FLAG WARNING – that an appreciation of danger courses through his veins. Now he steps into the boots of a paramedic and grabs the reader by the gut. The paramedic, seeking to retrieve a young girl’s foot severed in an accident, takes the reader into…the pages of a complex but wholly satisfying novel of real meets surreal. It is a wild but credible ride. Kamm’s talent for creating 3D characters blossoms fully with this spellbinding tale.

AND AN UNSOLICITED AMAZON REVIEW:
This incredibly researched novel smacks of the kind of detail one finds in the great biographies by Walter Isaacson or David McCullough combined with the character development and page-turning excitement of John Grisham. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book and found myself going back several times to re-read some of the more esoteric “nuggets” about nano-science, stem-cell research and paramedic studies. But wait…there’s more! Wyoming cowboys. Vampire cults. Tattooed pole dancers. Russian mobsters dealing in illegal body parts. A love story. Tidbits of Chinese, Tibetan and Indian culture. If they made schoolwork this interesting, maybe our kids would do better in their studies.
