Third Degree

A severed leg is found, but there is not much the police or their pathologist George Barnabus can do. After two further deaths George's suspicions are aroused, and when her lover, Chief Inspector Gus Hathaway, finds himself in trouble, George begins to unravel a dangerous crime. The drama of life in a hospital is interwoven with life on the streets and life on the beat in a tale that is compulsively clever and entirely readable.
