Rubbernecker — Belinda Bauer

RUBBERNECKER is a gripping thriller about a medical student who begins to suspect that something strange is going on in this cadaver lab.

"The dead can't speak to us," Professor Madoc had said. But that was a lie. The body Patrick Fort is examining in anatomy class is trying to tell him all kinds of things. But no one hears what he does, and no one understand when he tries to tell them.

Life is already strange enough for Patrick -- 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, especially when no one believes a crime has even taken place. Now he must stay out of danger long enough to unravel the mystery. But as Patrick learns one truth from a dead man, he discovers there have been many other lies closer to home.

A can't-put-it-down page-turner from one of the finest voices in UK crime, RUBBERNECKER puts Belinda Bauer firmly on the map of world-class crime writers.
