Living Proof Glenn Brasse

Living Proof, a novel of love, war and medical ethics. London 1945. Dr Paulo Tiepolo is in custody, awaiting trial for war crimes and murder. Italy, seven years earlier. Tiepolo is at the forefront of a pioneering new chemical treatment for cancers that neither the scalpel nor X rays could reach. His patients are recovering and he is about to go public with his discovery. He is also enjoying an affair with his medical director's wife, Carlota. Life is good. Until war engulfs Europe and utterly consumes all caught in its path. Tiepolo's personal life, and the living proof he needs to convince the medical establishment of his treatment's effectiveness will be resolved at a price - a price determined by forces entirely outside his control.
