''A superbly strong read'' The Times What began as a straightforward case is about to become a twisted nightmare . . . Once a busy hospital, St Jude''s now stands derelict, awaiting demolition. When a partially mummified corpse is found in the building''s cavernous loft, forensics expert Dr David Hunter is called in to take a look. He can''t say how long the body''s been there, but he is certain it''s that of a young woman. And that she was pregnant. Then part of the attic floor collapses, revealing another of the hospital''s secrets: a bricked-up chamber with beds inside. And some of them are still occupied. And it soon becomes clear that St Jude''s hasn''t claimed its last victim . . . Chilling, visceral and masterfully paced, Simon Beckett''s new crime thriller will leave you gasping.
