A Particularly Nasty Case

When a toxic hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner. So when another senior doctor dies in similar circumstances, he's determined to prove there's more to these deaths than meets the eye.

But following time off for his mental health, Eitan's friends and colleagues begin to question his judgement as his chaotic investigation and equally chaotic life spiral simultaneously out of control. Is he making a career-ending mistake, or could there genuinely be a killer stalking the wards?

A deathly funny mix of mystery, murder and medicine, A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE is the brilliantly original debut novel from Adam Kay, BAFTA-winning author of multi-million global bestseller THIS IS GOING TO HURT.
