Methodically, with total clarity and a tone that is both gripping and impassioned, then investigative journalist Mullin unpicked every detail of the case.

Each year in the US, a quarter of a million deaths are attributable to medical error. If the number shocks, on some level you already knew it was so. Everyone knows someone - perhaps it was yourself - who has suffered miserable treatment in American hospitals, part of the most elaborate, most extensive and expensive health-care system in the world. But it is perhaps the most inefficient. Misdiagnoses, wrong prescriptions, operating on the wrong patient, even operating on the wrong limb (and amputating it).

Quiet, diligent, and very nearly forgettable—until he accidentally overheard a conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar.

Telling the truth.

Sie haben ihn gebaut, um ihren Müll zu beseitigen. Stellt sich heraus, sie sind die Nächsten. Tedd ist ein Mülldroid mit einer „Anomalie“ er kann selbständig denken. Management will ihn eingeschmolzen sehen, und sein vorlautes Mundwerk hilft ihm nicht gerade. Er könnte still und leise verschwinden. Er könnte auf Nummer sicher gehen. Er könnte, zum ersten Mal in seiner elenden Existenz, das Vernünftige tun. Aber das tut er nicht. Das tut er nie. Wenn du Douglas Adams, John Scalzi oder Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries liebst, wirst du dies verschlingen.

In a creative twist, a fatally ill man’s great humanitarian act is to seek out and kill someone deserving of death; but the horror of an innocent man being accused of the murder was not an outcome Mr Todhunter, or the friends who advised him, considered.

Wodehouse, the story is suspenseful, inventive and humorous, with a riveting attention to detail and a profound suggestion of the absurdity of trying to influence destiny.

We like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are evolution's greatest creation, why are we so badly designed? We have retinas that face backward, the stump of a tail, and way too many bones in our wrists. We must find vitamins and nutrients in our diets that other animals simply make for themselves. Millions of us can't reproduce successfully without help from modern science. We have nerves that take bizarre paths, muscles that attach to nothing, and lymph nodes that do more harm than good. And that's just the beginning of the story.
