"When arriving paramedics ask Eitan for his details, he declines to give his real name, instead giving them the name of his work supervisor and nemesis, Douglas Moran. Eitan is a hard-partying consultant rheumatologist who has just returned to work after several months off following a mental health crisis, and who uses liquid cocaine secreted into a nasal inhaler to get through the working day."
"Soon he is performing illicit postmortems and impersonating a police detective so he can cross-examine a suspect. But when he tries to blow the whistle, his colleagues and the police decline to take his claims seriously. Eitan may work among medical professionals, but they are not above stigmatising a colleague diagnosed with bipolar disorder and taking his outlandish claims as evidence of his instability."
Dr Eitan Rose is a consultant rheumatologist who returns to work after a mental health crisis and hides a heavy partying lifestyle and addiction to liquid cocaine used from a nasal inhaler. He performs CPR in a gay sauna and gives paramedics his supervisor Douglas Moran's name. When Moran dies unexpectedly, Rose suspects foul play and conducts illicit investigations including postmortems and impersonating a detective to question suspects. Colleagues and police dismiss his claims, often attributing them to his bipolar diagnosis and instability. The narrative combines pitch-black humour and frenetic plotting, with Andy Serkis narrating the audiobook and energetic depiction of Rose's dysfunction.
