A deadly infection...A race against time...An investigation that leads to your worst...Night Mares

Something is very wrong at Nina Crawford's veterinary surgery on the outskirts of Glasgow. Despite all her medical efforts, a deadly strain of bacteria is killing every horse that passes through her operating theatre. And the vicious nightmares that once plagued Nina have returned, pushing her to the very brink of suicide--unless her psychiatrist and friend Kellen Stewart can save her from going over the edge.

Kellen is mystified. Why, after such steady progress, should Nina's mental state deteriorate? Even more deaths at Nina's surgery and a suspicious fire at her home threaten to crumble Nina's fragile defenses. It's a case that will push Kellen over a line she never thought she'd cross--and before it's over, she'll risk not only her profession, but her very life.

From the Back Cover:

"Explosive...Scott fuses raw emotion with complex characters....Surgical procedures in textbook detail and a pharmacopoeia beyond Herriot's wildest hopes flesh out the story line. Night Mares richly compensates the reader for sleepless nights spent turning pages."

About the Author:

Manda Scott is a veterinary surgeon, writer and climber, not necessarily in that order. Born and educated in Scotland, she trained at the Glasgow Vet School and now lives in Suffolk, sharing her life with a lurcher and other assorted wildlife. Her first novel, HEN'S TEETH, hailed by Fay Weldon as 'a new voice for a new world', won widespread critical acclaim and was shortlisted for the 1997 Orange Prize.
