&lt;p&gt;The surgery waiting room was deserted. The two men stood in the surgery
itself, shaking hands and swapping envelopes. The deal was done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John Rose walked out of the doctors’ surgery with a smug, contented

he had wanted, until now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The doctor, Jamie, was a lifelong friend of John’s, and one of the country’s
top surgeons, although only in his mid thirties. He was financially well
off, but didn’t have the millions his friend John had in the bank.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
