More about the book
A riveting story of class-hatred and murder from the bestselling author of Human Punk and The Football Factory.A classic tale of good against evil pits nurse against consultant; working-class woman against upper-middle-class man. Ruby is a nurse who enjoys life and finds the best in everyone. For her, the hospital is a chaotic, exciting landscape of work and play where everyone has a story to tell. For Mr. Jeffries, the consultant, however, the patients and staff alike are an ignorant, lazy, drunken, violent, drug-crazed rabble. White trash. Arrogant and elitist, Jeffries hankers after a class system that has gone - but that he wants re-established. When Ruby becomes suspicious about the death of a patient, a clash between the two becomes inevitable.
