Description
Westminster Hall, 13 December 1828. A dramatic night in London's history saw thousands gathered outside. Newspapers were holding their presses as James Lambert, a young apothecary-surgeon, accused a leading surgeon at Guy's Hospital of killing a patient.
This novel tells the extraordinary story of Dr Lambert, whose contribution to modern healthcare has been largely unrecognised for two centuries. Based on true events, it explores what drove him to challenge the medical establishment and risk everything he'd always wanted.
