Patrick has uncovered a crime that the experts were too close to see . . .

Life is strange for Patrick Fort - being a medical student with Asperger's Syndrome doesn't come without its challenges. And that's before he is faced with solving a possible murder.

Because the body Patrick is examining in anatomy class is trying to tell him all kinds of things. And now he must stay out of danger long enough to unravel the mystery - while he dissects his own evidence . . .

'Breathtaking. I read this and wished I'd written it' Val McDermid

'This could be the most astonishing whodunnit you are ever likely to read' Red Magazine online
