Is the killer virus Code Name Green Swan that is decimating the patients in that ward possibly the result of a Government Germ warfare experi- ment that has gone wrong?
And is there a coverup in progress?
A big plus is that Inspector Hedge has had and is still suffering from a nervous breakdown so he can be inserted into the clinic as a patient. Which raises a further problem. The inspector is subject to hallucinations which will make it difficult to sort out the facts. When another patient claims that he/she is working for MI5 he must question whether it is the medication or is the country really in danger of a virulent pandemic breaking out?
