Bodies

Zusatztext

<p><b>From the creator of the award-winning TV show,<i>Line of Duty</i></b></p><p>Inside every hospital exists a world no outsider has been allowed to see.</p><p>Written by a former doctor,<i>Bodies</i>is a novel of almost unbearable power and intensity. It is also a moving portrait of the loss of innocence, the healing power of sexual love, and of a young man's quest for redemption in a world that's lost its sense of right and wrong. Jed Mercurio, the man behind the television series<i>Cardiac Arrest</i>, has produced an even more disturbingly authentic dispatch from the frontline of hospital life.</p>
