Bodies

Rob Lake's future at the hospital now lies in the hands of Roger Hurley. If Hurley is to succeed as Clinical Director of the hospital, fast rising from the ranks of its three star status, he needs the best physicians around him. Luckily for Rob his face seems to fit, but when sheer determination and ambition wear thin, where do his allegiances lie? Can he justify being the hypocritical nail in the coffin for one of the consultants? Will he do to someone else what he saw done to Maria Orton when she tried to blow the whistle?

Tense, gripping, darkly humorous and scarily unsettling, Bodies follows Dr Rob Lake as he begins work in a maternity unit. He soon comes to suspect that his new boss, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Roger Hurley, may be incompetent. He tries to turn a blind eye, but one of Hurley's blunders leads to a young mother being left brain-damaged and her baby stillborn. Rob watches a fellow doctor being hounded for attempting to bring the incompetence to light. He realises he must risk his career to put a stop to Hurley's negligence.
