A Fatal Cut

â€˜His patient was ready. He stood for a moment, staring down at her, his mind working out the correct incision. Then the first cut...â€™

A body has been discovered in undergrowth in the grounds of Birmingham hospital, wrapped in a clinical waste bag and, even more bizarrely, wearing little but a garish Disney tie.

The scar and stitches evident on the dead manâ€™s groin suggest he may recently have been a patient at the hospital.

But when pathologist Karys Harper is brought in to examine the body she makes a discovery that is more grotesque still.

For the surgery wound was inflicted after death.

Clearly this is no ordinary killer â€“ and he's about to strike again.

As the â€˜surgeonâ€™ continues to carry out his operations, can frustated Detective Inspector Forrest piece together the clues â€“ which are few and far between â€“ and track this medical murderer down?

Or will his next patient be someone close to Forrestâ€™s heart?

â€˜A Fatal Cutâ€™ is a chilling medical thriller that is perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs.
