A Particularly Nasty Case

When a toxic hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner.

But Eitan just won't let it drop, and his friends and colleagues become increasingly concerned about his mental health as his chaotic investigation and equally chaotic life spiral out of control. Is he making a career-ending mistake, or could there genuinely be a killer stalking the wards?

A deathly funny mix of mystery, murder and medicine, A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE is the brilliantly original debut novel from Adam Kay, BAFTA-winning author of multi-million global bestseller THIS IS GOING TO HURT.

'Amazing: so clever and funny. Medical knowledge twines the plot together like poison ivy, and I was gripped right up to the last minute' ― Joanna Lumley

'A thrilling, twisting mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. Of course it's impossibly funny, but it's also deeply moving and often heartbreaking' ― Chris Whitaker

'Olympic-level black humour and blindsiding plot twists' ― Jill Mansell

'Multilayered, deeply compassionate, righteously angry and uproariously funny - absolutely brilliant' ― Chris Brookmyre
