The phone buzzes. A voice says, “Does your expert do murder?”
I suppress a snigger: “Not intentionally, as far as I am aware. No definitely not. Well, not to my knowledge, although some of his patients may say differently. To whom do I speak?”
“This is Winchester Crown Court - we’ve got a murder trial and we need an expert witness for the defence.”

The tale of Freddie the Knife Killer is one of over 3000 unusual, even surreal medico-legal cases experienced by Dr Ed Bonner involving murder trials, medico-legal hearings, visits to prisons; cases concerning sex-workers and female genital mutilation; business schemes involving nefarious Russians and an extremely dumb Duke. He has a myriad of anecdotes about his colleagues, nurses and patients, none weirder than the certifiably insane psychiatrist, all related with humour and pathos by his long-serving manager.
