Description
Since his wife was burned in a car crash, Dr. Robert Ledgard, an eminent plastic surgeon, has wanted to create a new skin with which he could have saved her. After twelve years, he cultivates a skin that is a real shield against every assault. Now, besides the years of study and experimentation, the unscrupulous doctor needs to find an accomplice, and a human guinea pig. Marrilia, the woman who looked after him from birth, is his most faithful accomplice. But where will they find the human pig?
Description
"Desde que su mujer sufriera quemaduras en todo el cuerpo en un accidente de coche, el Doctor Robert Ledgard, eminente cirujano plástico, se interesa por la creación de una nueva piel con la que hubiera podido salvarla. Doce años después consigue cultivarla en su propio laboratorio, una piel sensible a las caricias, pero una auténtica coraza contra todas las agresiones, tanto externas como internas, de las que es víctima nuestro mayor órgano. Para lograrlo ha utilizado las posibilidades que proporciona la terapia celular. Además de años de estudio y experimentación, Robert necesitaba una cobaya humana, un cómplice y ningún escrúpulo. Los escrúpulos nunca fueron un problema, no formaban parte de su carácter. Marilia, la mujer que se ocupó de él desde el día que nació, es su cómplice más fiel, nunca le fallará. Y respecto a la cobaya humana..."--www.lapielquehabito.com.
