The Ghost Disease book. So I enjoyed reading this book, with its very satisfying self-contained stories of medical mysteries and their resolutions. Howell and Ford are excellent storytellers, and here they've recounted one dozen medical investigations in clear and gripping fashion. The cases range from pinning down information about important diseases (such as identifying the mode of transmission of yellow fever) to instances where the mechanism was understood but diagnosis in an individual case was tricky (such as with an incident of cantharidin poisoning).

Fact-based mystery adapted by Michael Butt from Michael Howell and Peter Ford's The Ghost Disease and Other Stories. Episode 1 - Death in the Parish. When a cholera epidemic strikes London in 1854, the brilliant but mercurial Dr John Snow investigates. Episode 2 - The Last Infirmity. Two ambitious young doctors tackle a yellow fever epidemic in 19th-century Cuba. Starring Colin Stinton and William Hope. Episode 3 - The Epping Jaundice. A strange epidemic sweeps through the inhabitants of a quiet Essex suburb. Starring Bernard Hepton and Roger Allam

I commend Michael Howell and Peter Ford for their superb 1985 page-turner, The Ghost Disease and Twelve Other Stories of Detective Work in the Medical Field, which filled me in on the Epping Jaundice, the Euston Road poisonings and the mysterious ailment that felled Clare Boothe.

I commend Michael Howell and Peter Ford for their superb 1985 page-turner, The Ghost Disease and Twelve Other Stories of Detective Work in the Medical Field, which filled me in on the Epping Jaundice, the Euston Road poisonings and the mysterious ailment that felled Clare Boothe Luce. I bow down also to Paul Sloane and Des MacHale, whose years of painstaking collecting and publishing of lateral thinking puzzles helped me track down some of the quirkiest, and I propose a resounding three cheers to those anonymous geniuses who came up with them all in the first place. Finally, I thank Marianne,.

As Peter often does, he began this writing project without a title. His New York publisher decided to name it Giant Bones, after the last story in the book, but all his foreign publishers opted for The Magician of Karakosk instead. Sometimes a really good one occurs to him before finishing, but more often he just slaps down a placeholder and gets on with the business of storytelling. A few such placeholders have made it into final print. Which is not to say the title Giant Bones is no more-it’s just changed mediums.
