The young women of Nightingale House are there to learn to nurse and comfort the suffering.

Another student dies equally mysteriously, and it is up to Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard to unmask a killer who has decided to prescribe murder as the cure for all ills.

“I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.”
