A Particularly Nasty Case: The ‘outrageously funny’ debut thriller, from the author of This is Going to Hurt

Step into the chaotic wards of a British hospital where nothing is as clinical as it seems. Dr. Eitan Rose, a sharp but possibly unhinged medic, refuses to accept a routine heart attack as the cause of death for a widely loathed consultant. His lone-wolf investigation into what he is certain is a murder draws him into a spiral of professional ruin, gallows humor, and mounting paranoia. This is a medical mystery where the cure might be more dangerous than the disease.

A Particularly Nasty Case combines the razor-sharp wit of Adam Kay's bestselling memoir This Is Going to Hurt with the twisty suspense of a classic whodunnit. The novel is a darkly comic thriller that skewers hospital hierarchies and the thin line between dedication and obsession. Fans of amateur sleuths and medical drama will find a fresh, irreverent voice in Eitan Rose, whose chaotic quest for truth makes for a page-turning debut.

With praise from literary icons and a style that is both 'viciously funny' and 'bleakly comic', this novel stakes its claim as a standout entry in the medical thriller genre. It is a story of one man's determination to find justice, even as everyone around him questions his sanity. Adam Kay delivers a brilliantly original take on the murder mystery that is as moving as it is outrageous.
