About the Book

Released from prison and bereft of his licence to practice, philandering surgeon Tony Stamford sets about restoring his fortunes administering to the most private medical needs of Hampstead's wealthy women. However, when his past comes knocking in the guise of Detective Inspector Newcombe, he is forced to seek refuge in the bosom of Médecins Sans Frontières, the Foreign Legion of the medical profession. Spurned by them, a chance encounter leads him into the dark and labyrinth world of Lebanese Minister for the Interior Khoury, the horrifying Syrian conflict and then into the even darker world of international arms dealer Peter Chisholm. As always funny and dark by turns, Sharp Practice, the second book in the Malpractice trilogy, takes the reader on an odyssey through the very darkest realms of human nature as hapless anti -hero, British surgeon Tony Stamford, finds himself yet again fighting for his very survival in war torn Syria. 'Darkly comic, beautifully paced, the novel is crammed with an almost Dickensian sense of atmosphere and turbulence, yet blessed with the deftness of Waugh. Full of great moments, it also succeeds in being momentous and very funny' Goodreads.com 'A no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the stops, breathless tangle of a thriller full of dark comedy...A heck of a good read... admirably plotted, full of vitality, a novel that is truly comic, and, like all true comedy, also disturbing' Amazon.com
About the Author: Mike Adlam is the author of dark comedies: Malpractice, Sharp Practice and the soon to be published Out of Practice. In 2007, things were looking grim for Mike, after being told by doctors that they did not expect him to survive a week, following his collapse with cancer of the liver. However, he refused to be beaten and it is a moot point how much the sharply observed satire running through the books owes to his own experiences. The Trilogy follows the adventures of arrogant, philandering surgeon Tony Stamford through the machinations of life in a top London Hospital in the first book, out into the brutal corruption of front-line surgery in the Middle East in the second and back to the black arts of British medical politics in the third. Throughout we are gripped by the pace of the narrative and the caustic wit. He has also published The Rent Man, a cunningly constructed action thriller, riven with deliciously black humour and the bleak, forbidding atmosphere of decaying urban Wales.
