But they work in the shadow of the Death Committee, a formidable hospital tribunal where doctors sit in judgment of their peers, deciding who is to blame when a death could have been prevented. During an unforgettable year of love and fear, failure and victory, the young doctors must face the crucial dramas and triumphs of hospital life.

Review: To somebody who usually loves Noah Gordon's books, this was a huge disappointment. Slow-moving and not nearly as captivating as any of his other books. I kept reading because until now he's been one of my favourites authors, so I kept thinking the book would improve. And it did - I started to get interested in the characters - but it still can't hold a candle to any of the others.
