About this book

Night-shift doctor Ailsa Drummond keeps seeing patients at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary who make no sense: identical injuries, erased memories, a trail into the city’s slums. When her questions meet silence, she starts to dig. A medical thriller about corruption and courage.

In the dark corridors of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, a deadly secret hides. Dr. Ailsa Drummond believes in facts, but her night-shift patients make no sense: identical injuries, erased memories, and a trail that leads straight into the city’s slums. As Ailsa starts asking questions, she hits a wall of silence. Her own chief waves her off while the respected Blackmore Foundation operates in the shadows. Together with journalist Alistair Balfour she uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the boardrooms of the pharmaceutical industry, where human lives are sacrificed for profit and the victims are those no one will miss. But the truth has a price. A gripping medical thriller about corruption, moral courage, and the fight against an invisible enemy.
