Summary

Inside every hospital exists a world no outsider has been allowed to see. Written by a former doctor, this novel offers a moving portrait of the loss of innocence, the healing power of sexual love, and of a young man's quest for redemption in a world that's lost its sense of right and wrong.

Bodies Summary

Bodies: From the creator of Bodyguard and Line of Duty by Jed Mercurio

A darkly powerful and blackly funny expose of the horrors of life as a junior doctor, from the BAFTA award-winning creator of Bodyguard and Line of Duty and co-creator of the graphic novel Sleeper

'Funny, readable, galling, painful and terrifying in all the right places' Guardian

Inside every hospital exists a world no outsider is allowed to see: a storm of malpractice, corruption, sex, drink and drop-dead exhaustion.

But for first day junior doctors, their initiation into this world - the 'Killing Season' - is about to begin.

A whistle-blowing despatch from the frontlines of hospital life, Jed Mercurio's Bodies takes us on a nerve-jangling journey through one junior doctor's loss of innocence, and his desperate, dangerous attempts to right his - and his colleagues'- wrongs.
