The Corpse Bloom by Bryan Wiggins
Winner, 2024 North Street Book Prize, First Prize for Genre Fiction
Author Bryan Wiggins' writing took a thrilling turn when a client asked him to step aside from his day job as a brand strategist to take a stab at writing the medical thriller he had in mind. Noted Maine neurosurgeon Lee Thibodeau had the germ of an idea for a tale of illegal kidney transplants run by a Mexican cartel and gave Bryan access to the team of medical professionals who provided the technical details that granted plausibility for Wiggins' novel.
The story's first-place win of the North Street Book Prize follows its "Top Pick" status for Killer Nashville's Silver Falchion Award, its finalist placement for the Maine Literary Awards, and a "Recommended" Kirkus review.
