Your Life in Their Hands: Simon Stephenson, Jack Jordan and Eve Smith

Meet three writers who are at the beating heart of the medical thriller renaissance and are guaranteed to make your pulse race. In Simon Stephenson’s harrowing Sometimes People Die, a young Scottish doctor becomes aware of a slew of deaths in an overworked and underfunded east London hospital. Do No Harm, the blockbuster from Jack Jordan, sees a skilled surgeon facing a nightmare choice – to break her most sacred oath by taking a life or to lose her kidnapped son. Eve Smith’s dystopian medical thriller Off Target is set in a near future world where genetic engineering has become the norm and the search for the perfect baby has horrific consequences. The event will be chaired by Dr Liam Bell.
