Westminster Hall, 13 December 1828. Midnight. Thousands are massed outside. Newspapers are holding their presses. James Lambert, a young apothecary-surgeon, has accused a leading surgeon at Guy’s Hospital of killing a patient. Never before has a doctor’s competence been challenged in a court. What drove him to take on the medical establishment, risking everything he’d always wanted? For two centuries his contribution to the making of modern health care has lain unrecognised. This novel, based on true events, tells his extraordinary story.
"Scrupulous, scientific, tender, revelatory - Nick Black has imagined, with the support of extensive research, an early-19th century medical world that rings true in its depictions of both moral clarity and squalor. A sad yet powerful story." Nick Coleman, The Train in the Night
