Usually the police work means minor injuries and mental health assessments. But teenager Solomon Idris's case is different. Idris has taken eight people hostage in a fast-food restaurant, and is demanding to see a lawyer and a BC reporter. Harry is sent in to treat the clearly-ill teenager . . . before the siege goes horribly wrong When Solomon's life is put in danger again at a critical care ward, it becomes clear he knows something people will kill to protect. Determined to uncover the secret that drove the boy to such desperate action, Harry soon realizes that someone in the medical world, someone he may even know, has broken the doctors' commandment to do no harm many times over . . .

Review
This is a good story, well told, and very much enriched with an insider's knowledge.
Medical student McCarthy s accomplished first novel and series launch plunges Harry Kent, a London ER doctor who also serves as an on-call doctor for police matters, into a difficult situation. McCarthy provides a fascinating look at the sociology of crime and policing while deftly exploring the motivations of Idris, Kent, and Lahiri."
This fast-paced mix of medical thriller and crime novel keeps readers guessing until the surprising finale. McCarthy's medical knowledge as a fourth-year medical student and the South London setting give this book an authenticity that draws mystery fans in and will have them looking forward to the next Dr. Harry Kent novel.
A most impressive first novel, delivered with the encouraging report that McCarthy is preparing more adventures featuring Dr. Harry Kent.--David Rothenberg
A fascinating read. Part British police-procedural, part medical thriller, McCarthy has packed his debut with one beautifully described, tension-filled scene after another. A particularly sharp and incisive medical thriller.
The Hollow Men delivers its gruesome details in the authentic voice of the medical student McCarthy happens to be. The plot, centered on violent youth gangs in depressed areas, is, presented with jarring realism and zero sentimentality. --Marilyn Stasio

Plenty of action. Satisfying.
The Hollow Men is gritty and intense; it's complex and explosive. The characters in this debut are exemplary and McCarthy is unquestioningly a writer to watch.
