Cry of the Needle von Roger Radford
I didn't finish reading it but for those that like medical political thrillers this book would be right up your alley. Major bonus is the quick character development in the beginning of the book to get you to connect with the major player of the book.
I am unsure how to review this book. When I read the description, I was intrigued to read it. And the first few chapters were pretty good, especially conveying the reality of chronic pain (which I deal with myself, though not arachnoiditis).
Once the plot got going, though it seemed to almost completely be about something different. The revenge plot gave way, for the most part, to the corrupt politician and the alcoholic doctor. In fact, the longer I listened, the more confused I was about why these plots seemed to take over. I enjoy medical thrillers, but this book tried to do too much – the scope just became way too big.
The narration was great. Nigel Patterson did a fine job with the various accents, even the southern belle, surprisingly.

Very difficult to put down and ended up reading it within 2 days.
The story centres around the identity of Nazi sadist Hans Schreiber, and the court case over some present day murders that he is accused of.
The story shows well the unease some feel over trying apparently helpless old men who have however carried out the worst crimes and excesses of the last century and are nonetheless still guilty men today.
A gripping story with a great twist at the end. Well worth a read.
