"An American man vanishes from a rural roa d in Vietnam and his girlfriend\, an ER doctor trained in deductive reason ing\, follows a path that leads her home to the very hospital where they f irst met. Alexis and Austen met on a Saturday night. Not in a bar\, but in stead in the emergency room where Alexis sutured a bullet wound in Austen' s arm. Six months later\, on the brink of falling in love\, they travel to Vietnam on a bicycling tour so that Austen can show her his passion for c ycling and so that he can pay his respects to the place where his father a nd uncle fought in the war. But as Alexis sips white wine and waits at the hotel for Austen to return from his solo ride\, two men emerge from the t all grass and Austen vanishes into thin air. The only clues he leaves behi nd are two bright yellow energy gels dropped in the dirt road. As Alexis g rapples with this bewildering loss\, navigating the FBI\, Austen's prickly family\, and her colleagues at the hospital\, Alexis uncovers a series of strange lies that force her to wonder: Where did Austen go? Why did he re ally bring her to Vietnam? And how much danger has he left her in? Set ami d the adrenaline-fueled world of the emergency room\, The Red Lotus is a f ascinating story of those who dedicate their lives to saving people\, and those who instead peddle death to the highest bidder."
