Summary
Six candidates. One job. A killer prepared to murder their way to the top.
Salford, 1983. Lorraine Quick is a single mum, a member of a band going nowhere fast and Personnel Officer at Salford's grim Memorial Hospital. A new General Manager position is being introduced, someone to steer the institution towards Margaret Thatcher's lofty vision for the NHS. Lorraine will be pivotal in selecting the successful candidate, thanks to her recent training in psychometric testing.
However, the deliberate substitution of a flu vaccine for a lethal dose of anesthetic reveals a killer is at work at the hospital. Lorraine's suspicions turn towards the top brass vying for the new role - could the personality tests lead her to the killer?
Sharp Scratch takes listeners behind the scenes of a sprawling northern hospital, to the places the public does not see and would not want to, where clashes between politics and personalities can be fatal.
