Born in a Burial Gown by M. W. Craven
Two minutes later, Fluke had a doctor trying to stick a cannula in the back of his hand. ‘The first two attempts missed.
Fluke hated cannulas. Doctors always struggled to find veins, legacy of his treatment. On the odd occasion he was having blood taken by someone who wasn’t familiar with his medical history, he always ended up giving an explanation. The most common reason for poor veins was intravenous drug use and Fluke felt compelled to tell them his condition was due to chemotherapy, not heroin.

Sounds like an emotional read but a good one! Happy weekend!

Only emotional out of context, it seems. Those are actually the first words I read in the book, started it a few hours after putting that post together. THey’re not at all representative of the police procedural/thriller. Whoops. 🙂

I like the opening quite a bit and followed your link to read the blurb. I think this might be one I would enjoy. Fluke sounds like an interesting character and it’s been too long since I read a police procedural. Have a great weekend!
