What happens if you can’t trust the people who hold your life in their hands? New medical thriller Malpractice combines a searing insight into the pressures and politics of hospital life with a gripping story about a damaged doctor caught up in a dangerous conspiracy. Dr Lucinda Edwards is a smart, battle-hardened doctor, but we meet her on a nightmare shift that ends in the death of an opioid overdose victim. When the patient’s grieving father demands an enquiry into Lucinda’s actions, she is plunged into a malpractice investigation, led by Dr Norma Callahan and Lucinda’s former colleague Dr George Adjei. While George feels this was an unavoidable tragedy, Norma is suspicious of Lucinda’s behaviour. As the pressure of the investigation intensifies, Lucinda’s confident professional exterior begins to crack. Is she hiding something?
