About the Author
John Collee is a doctor, novelist and screenwriter, best known for "Happy Feet" and "Master and Commander"
From Publishers Weekly
In this relentless "medical chiller," the author of Kingsley's Touch exploits the notion that "we're all pretending to be more competent than we actually are." Matthew Harris, bored with life as a London hospital orderly, takes on the identity of the recently deceased Dr. Simon Hennessy; with little more than the expired doctor's resume to carry him, he successfully interviews for an emergency-room position in distant Bristol. Only the unwitting assistance of a more-than-capable nurse enables the bogus Dr. Hennessey to maintain his gruesome charade through hair-raising emergency-room sessions. Reck less lies piled on well-calculated ones set the charlatan on a careening course that forces him to take more desperate action. The author's experience as a medical practitioner supplies a wealth of knowledgeable detail and adds a sense of hor rifying possibility to this gripping account of twisted hospital procedures.
