Description
The White Corridors is a powerful story of raw conflicting human emotions, set against the background of a major London hospital. Emma Galvin, a young girl of fifteen is admitted to hospital with suspected food poisoning. Over the course of three days she is examined by several different doctors – and then she dies. Her father, crazed with grief, is convinced the hospital is guilty of negligence and determines to see justice done.
Edward Langley, consultant in charge of the case, knows the truth but will stop at nothing to protect his reputation, both at work and at home.
Simon Kingston, senior registrar and Langley’s future son-in-law, is prepared to defend Langley-in court of law, if necessary-as the family must come first. Adam Segal, Kingston’s rival for the forth-coming vacancy of registrar, also has something to hide and must determine what is more important-his new job or his integrity.
Sunil Bose, whose Indian parents have endowed part of the hospital building, will do anything to be accepted by his colleagues.
Laura Galvin, Emma’s mother and Frank’s estranged wife, intends to find out the real truth and has no scruples about the way she does it.
As Brian Flynn, the insurance investigator, begins his enquiries, the cover-up tightens in a last desperate attempt to prevent the truth being revealed.
Mel Steins previous novel, Rags to Riches, showed that he is a storyteller of exceptional ability. The White Corridors will build him an even greater reputation as a writer of action -packed, tension-filled stories.
