Description
After a medical mishap, Dr Vince Hanrahan crashes professionally and personally, is all but struck off, and the Medical Board kicks him all the way down the Princes Highway to be a rural GP. Supervised. On notice. He rents a dump, lives off takeaway, and plans to see out his time before regaining his rightful position on the specialist pedestal.
Vince's old terrors resurface when he sees his young patient dead on the labour ward floor. The investigation declares the cause of death suspicious. Unless he can find out who did it, and why, the Board will come after him. And he’s on his last chance.
After another suspicious death, Vince realises that only he can clean up this mess; it’s time to pull his finger out. With the help of the IT-savvy Senior Constable Elena Genovesi and Emu Quick, a dying junkie and drug dealer, he sets up an elaborate, high-risk sting.
But even if he can get through this, has Vince lost his old life forever?

Person
After practicing medicine for twenty-five years on Victoria's rugged southwest coast, Bill and family relocated to the big smoke and he is now a GP in an inner suburb of Melbourne.
He has always been an avid reader, especially crime and contemporary literary fiction, and a compulsive scribbler. For fifteen years he wrote a fortnightly column in The Australian Doctor magazine and his debut novel, Hard Labour, was published by Odyssey Books in 2017.
Bill's other interests include family, footy, and music. He is seeking to master surfing, guitar playing, and golf but spends way too much time pouring over a sweaty keyboard.
