To Kill Or Cure by Susanna Gregory

Cambridge University is in dire financial straits: the town's landlords are demanding an extortionate rent rise for the students' hostels and the plague years have left the colleges with scant resources. Tension between town and gown is at boiling point and soon explodes into violence and death. Into this maelstrom comes a charismatic physician whose healing methods owe more to magic than medicine but his success threatens Matthew Bartholomew's professional reputation, and his life

'AM. Homes's new novel is weird and warm and wise and really rather wonderful. There's some kind of magic at work ... Inexplicably addictive' Mark Haddon **'This brave story of a lost man's reconnection with the world could become a generational touchstone, like Catch 22, The monkey Wrench Gang or The Catcher in the Rye' Stephen King **'A scarily human, kind, and alarming epic of second chances. If Oprah went insane, this might be her favourite book' John Waters

Susanna Gregory was a coroner's officer before turning to the academic life. She lives in Wales with her husband, also a writer.
