What to expect
As the officers melted back into the darkness, Harry felt more alone than he had in a long time. He tried to remember the sharpshooters, their crosshairs over the boy in front of him.
Over half the patients at Bastion had been enemy combatants. Your patient has an inalienable right to life, he told himself now, as he had then. The teenager in front of him hadn't done anything nearly as bad as most of the people he'd treated over there.
He looked down, saw the gun again, and imagined the bullet in his own chest. He wondered what would kill him if Idris decided to use it.
Critics Review
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.
