A Fatal Cut

The chilling new medical thriller from Priscilla Masters. His patient was ready. He stood for a moment staring down at her his mind working out the correct incision. Then the first cut...' A body has been discovered in undergrowth in the grounds of a Birmingham hospital, wrapped in a clinical waste bag and even more bizarrely, wearing little but a garish Disney tie. The scar and stitches evident on the dead man's groin suggest he may have recently been a patient at the hospital. But when pathologist Karys Harper is brought in to examine the body she makes a discovery that is more grotesque still. For the surgery wound was inflicted after death. Clearly this is no ordinary killer. And he's about to strike again.
