The Vanishing Surgeons takes the reader into Glasgow Royal Infirmary in Scotland during the nineteen-fifties. The "Royal" is two hundred years old with a proud history including the first use of antiseptic surgery and the establishment of the first school of nursing, the discipline of which is still apparent. But all is not well in this proud and disciplined hospital. A surgeon disappears without trace, and then another. When they are finally found it is in the least likely of locations. How did it happen? Was it an accident? Or was a young and ambitious surgical intern responsible?
