Stressed-out, sleep-deprived and pill-popping Dr Tekla Berg is as
unusual a central character as you will find" Irish Independent
"Tekla is a terrific character" Literary Review "Tekla Berg is a
brilliant character" Susi Holliday "A memorable protagonist" Imran
Mahmood "Tekla is a scalpel-sharp character" Jens Lapidus A woman
is found wandering the corridors of Nobel Hospital in Stockholm,
accompanied by a young boy. She appears to be looking for a man who
was involved in a car accident earlier that day. Meanwhile, in one
of the emergency rooms, Tekla Berg is fighting to save a patient
who was seriously injured in the same incident. The resulting chaos
goes beyond anything anyone could have predicted, leaving hospital
staff, police and everyone else involved equally shocked and
perplexed. Hospital Director Monica Carlsson has stepped up her
attempts to privatise her fiefdom with the launch of an exclusive
patient hotel, a controversial liver transplant unit and the
prestigious recruitment of star surgeon Klas Nyström. It soon
becomes obvious that Klas has his own agenda and is working to
undermine Tekla at every turn. But Tekla is too distracted to meet
this challenge head on: she has become obsessed with the mystery
surrounding the woman and her young charge - for the boy's identity
remains unknown and no trace of his past can be found. Reviews for
