Rob McCarthy
Usually his police work means minor injuries and mental health assessments. But Solomon Idris's case is different. Solomon Idris has taken eight people hostage in a chicken takeaway, and is demanding a lawyer and a BBC reporter. Harry is sent in to treat the clearly ill teenager...before the siege goes horribly wrong.
When Solomon's life is put in danger again from the safety of a critical care ward, it becomes clear he knows something people will kill to protect.
Determined to uncover the secret that drove the boy to such desperate action, Harry soon realises that someone in the medical world, someone he may even know, has broken the doctors' commandment 'do no harm' many times over.
And now only he stands in the way of them causing further hurt...

Critic Reviews
A stunning debut...gripping and original
McCarthy is an original new voice who uses his inside knowledge to great effect in this memorable novel.
A brilliant hero...every page is full of tension
This ferocious debut from a young medical student is one of the finest first crime novels I have encountered this year...Written with admirable verve and lacerating detail, it announces the arrival of a shiny new talent in British crime writing and grips from the start
Gripping
Gritty, authentic and has enough twists to keep readers guessing until a shocking conclusion. McCarthy is a bright talent
A good story, well told, and very much enriched by an insider's knowledge
A fast-moving, wholly contemporary tale...The vibrant mix of medical thriller and police procedural is enhanced by the realistic backdrop of inner-city social problems.
