A medical student with Asperger’s is drawn into a deadly mystery in this unique crime thriller from the CWA Gold Dagger Award–winning author. Winner of the 2014 Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award, Rubbernecker is a gripping thriller about a medical student who begins to suspect that something strange is going on in the cadaver lab. “The dead can’t speak to us,” Professor Madoc had said. But that was a lie. The body Patrick Fort is examining in anatomy class is trying to tell him all kinds of things. But no one hears what he does, and no one understand when he tries to tell them. Life is already strange enough for Patrick—being a medical student with Asperger’s Syndrome doesn’t come without its challenges. And that’s before he is faced with solving a possible murder, especially when no one believes a crime has even taken place. Now he must stay out of danger long enough to unravel the mystery. But as Patrick learns one truth from a dead man, he discovers there have been many other lies closer to home. “A murder mystery with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster.” —Bustle

"Beginning to end an amazing crime story. I was disappointed to learn this book was not supernatural related, however that did not stop me from being entertained . I really appreciate how this book was filled with emotions of both humor and grief. In addition, the author showed awareness to Asperger’s syndrome presenting more unique point of view for readers!"

"This book takes you on a journey with many twists (some predictable) that craft a very interesting story. This book has humor and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed following Patrick’s journey to understand death as he so needed to in order to move on with his life. While the story zooms in on the lives of several characters, I feel there was one storyline that was left unfinished and didn’t tie into the rest as much as expected... I wish this had either been wrapped up, or left out completely. "
