The Cancer Man

False hope isn't the cruellest killer.

Emet Gordon knows the pain of loss only too well. It has embittered and destabilised his entire adult life.

Now working as a notoriously harsh critic, his boss sends him to review a self-help seminar led by a famous motivational life coach, secretly hoping it will do him some good.

Surrounded by infectious smiles and positivity, Emet starts to feel his cynicism melt away until he finds that just below the happy, shiny surface of the event lies the bleakest of the bleak - promises of a cancer cure through nothing more than a hypnotic talking therapy.

Incensed, he makes it his mission to burn these false claims and charlatanism to the ground before countless people are hurt, but nothing can prepare him for the sort of fire he’s playing with.

If you were mesmerised by movies and books like Magnolia, Trance, Nightmare Alley, Red Lights, and The Manchurian Candidate, The Cancer Man will entrance you deeper and deeper into a disturbing world where the lines between optimism, fear, objective reality, and nightmarish hallucinations grow hazier with every page you turn.

"Compelling read - so many unexpected twists and turns in the plot from beginning to the very end. Yes it's a great read as a psychological thriller but also offers the reader the opportunity to think deeply about life, love, loss, altruism, control, and freedom. If you enjoyed The Silent Patient you will love this." Reader review

"A compelling and a throughly entertaining read" Reader review

"Really enjoyed this. As a doctor myself who gets patients coming in asking for treatments that ain’t quite “regulation” this was all scarily plausible. Well written, exciting, and I can’t wait for the next instalment!" Reader review
