Synopsis
The young women of Nightingale House are there to learn to nurse and comfort the suffering. But when one of the students plays patient in a demonstration of nursing skills, she is horribly, brutally killed. Another student dies equally mysteriously and it is up to Adam Dalgliesh to unmask a killer who has decided to prescribe murder as the cure for all ills. 'Plenty of scrupulously laid false trails, credible detectives and a totally unexpected ending.' Sunday Telegraph 'James . . . manages to invest even a simple mystery novel with a depth and intelligence that few in her trade can match.' The Times

From the Inside Flap
An Adam Dalgliesh mystery by an award-winning, internationally acclaimed novelist.
Two student nurses lie dead, the great hospital nursing school of Nightingale House is shadowed with terror, and a secret medical world of sex, shame, and scandal is about to be exposed. It is the job of Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard to probe even deeper into the macabre mystery and unmask a killer who operates as skillfully as a surgeon -- before the epidemic of evil gets completely out of hand.
