Every now and then, reports appear in the media about nurses or doctors who have murdered their patients. Despite the alarming hard facts, Paula Lampe manages, partly due to her cool and accessible style, to write a non-fiction book that reads like a series of thrilling stories. After intensive research, she describes 23 true cases that surpass anyone's imagination. The author takes the reader into the perpetrator's youth and motives. A staggering conclusion, moreover, is that for a long time no one noticed anything, and when someone sensed trouble, whistleblowers were systematically ignored and institutions tried to cover up the crimes. Through this, she provides clear insight into this form of crime that takes place worldwide in locations where no one expects it, committed by staff who are above suspicion and in a way that is considered utterly impossible.
