Ambulance Call

Tom Rennison is the brilliant assistant to a famous heart surgeon at the London's Central Hospital. His future seems assured, until suddenly his world crashes and he loses everything he values, including - almost wilfully - the girl he loves. A prison sentence is followed by a post as ambulance driver for a nursing home in Halchester, on the coast. Then, just as he glimpses an opportunity to return to surgery, his past catches up with him. One midnight there is an ambulance call, an illegal landing by fast launch, and the threat of a dangerous epidemic. Combining an authentic medical background with gripping suspense, this account of a young surgeon's struggle to rebuild his career has pace and action.
