El pie de Clive

Sinopsis

At the heart of John Berger's second novel is not so much a murder - a policeman has been killed in a bank raid - but a murderer. Jack House, an alleged 'cop killer', has been apprehended but so badly hurt that he might die before he is tried and hanged. And so, in the middle of the night, he is rushed to the nearest hospital, an ordinary National Health institution, andis later placed, under police guard, in an ordinary ward with six other patients.
