The special girls
(Book)

DI Grace Fisher investigates the murder of a young doctor working at a summer camp for young girls with eating disorders. Professor Ned Chesham, the man behind the camp deep in the Essex countryside, is hailed as a miracle worker, but the murder of one of his team throws a spotlight on his work and the girls under his care. Grace Fisher is pulled from the murder investigation to head up a cold case review involving Chesham himself. She must tread carefully: he has been knighted, has friends in high places and any suspicion about his work risks damaging his patients even further. But the deeper Grace probes, the clearer it becomes that there is something rotten at the heart of his treatment programme. As Grace peels away the lies that led to the young doctor's murder and uncovers the extent of the damage done to the patients, she realises how few people want her to get to the truth.
