Description

When locum doctor Jess Miller starts a new post at a hospital, she never expects to be held at knifepoint by a man who mistakes her for Zoe Furniss, the consultant she's covering.

Shaken but determined, Jess accepts an offer to stay with Zoe, a brilliant but enigmatic paediatrician whose past is linked to a tragic event at a previous hospital twenty years earlier.

Inside the impressive home of Zoe and her husband Scott, Jess senses tension, mistrust and something dangerous lurking beneath the perfect facade of their marriage. And when she meets Zoe's daughter, Jess realises that the knife attack points to a secret far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.

But who is lying?

And what exactly is Zoe trying to hide?

As Jess digs into what really happened two decades ago, she begins uncovering a truth someone will do anything to protect.

How far will they go to stop her?

And with secrets of her own to conceal, will Jess risk everything to bring the past to light?

The Other Doctor delivers a fast, twist-filled story of hidden identities, buried crimes and a family built on lies — addictive, atmospheric and packed with shocking reveals.

C.J Griffiths has spent most of his working life in the NHS, as a paramedic, anaesthetic practitioner and as part of a hospital resuscitation team. During his career he became fascinated with the unique level of trust involved in healthcare and was drawn to explore the darker side of medical ethics in his writing. He is the recipient of the Writers and Artists' Working-Class Writers Prize and was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award. He lives in Buckinghamshire with his wife and children, and when not writing spends his time immersed in books, films and music.
