Mervyn Singer |
||||
Mervyn Singer is an international jet setter, man of mystery, bon vivant, modern-day Heracles and role model for Austin Powers wannabees all rolled into one. His mundane cover identity is an intensivist at University College London, UK where no-one remotely suspects his alternate existence. He pits his sleuthing skills, superhuman energy and licence-to-kill in the battles against sepsis and multi-organ failure, shock, inadequate monitoring, dogma and bad practice. The shadowy paymasters who fund his various battles against the Evil Bacteria and the Enemies Within include the Wellcome Trust and UK Medical Research Council. He's published a number of short stories (primarily romantic medical detective genre with either happy or inconclusive endings) and some (almost) bestselling novels on critical care. |
