Rubbernecker (2014) is an award-winning crime novel by Belinda Bauer that follows Patrick Fort, a medical student with Asperger’s Syndrome who suspects the cadaver he is dissecting was murdered. Most reviewers describe it as a dark, original, and compelling thriller with a uniquely well-drawn protagonist. 

According to The Sunday Times, “one of the most startling plots in contemporary crime fiction”. 

Patrick Fort: An anatomy student who sees the world through the lens of his neurodivergence. 

The Coma Patient: A significant portion of the book is told from the perspective of Sam, a man in a “locked-in” state after a car accident. 

… detailed accounts of car crashes and anatomy lab dissections may be too gruesome for the squeamish.
