Episode 1
Famous journalist Rhoda Gradwyn books an appointment with an exclusive cosmetic surgeon and is told a dark secret about the stone circle next to the clinic.
PD James's latest Dalgliesh mystery, dramatised by Neville Teller.
Journalist Rhoda Gradwyn checks into Cheverell Manor, an exclusive cosmetic surgery clinic in Dorset. Chandler-Powell, the owner, is faced with his right-hand man, Marcus Westhall and his sister Candace trying to persuade him that it may not be a good idea to admit such a well-known investigative writer. Meanwhile, Rhoda is told a dark secret about the stone circle next to the clinic.
The Private Patient is the latest in the long-running Dalgliesh series, and the first to be dramatised on radio before television. The entire serial will be released on CD by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔAudiobooks in June, and repeated on Radio 7 in August as part of a PD James season.
The dramatiser is Neville Teller, who also dramatised the previous Dalgliesh serial featuring Richard Derrington and Deborah McAndrew, A Taste For Death.
