Episode 3

Dalgliesh, investigating a murder at an exclusive Dorset clinic, sets about questioning the suspects when he receives a rude interruption.

PD James's latest Dalgliesh mystery, dramatised by Neville Teller.

A famous investigative journalist has been murdered at an exclusive cosmetic surgery clinic in Dorset. Commander Dalgliesh and his colleague DI Kate Miskin are called in because of some of the clinic's high-profile clients.

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 大象传媒Audiobooks 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.
