Dancing with the Bones
WHAT'S MORE VALUABLE: A PIECE OF FLESH OR HUMAN DIGNITY?
Severyn Donyk, a pathologist at a Kyiv hospital, looks death in the eye every day – but the most terrifying thing isn't waiting on the autopsy table, but behind the hospital doors. The grey area of Ukrainian healthcare, where the dead become a commodity and the living fight for survival, draws the frustrated Severyn into a trap of debt, intrigue, and illegal dealings.
When he accepts an offer from the mysterious company Materia Obscura, it seems he's finally found a way out. So what if he occasionally has to deliberately misdiagnose, steal a tissue sample, or cut a bone out of a corpse? But every decision comes at a price – and the line between victim and perpetrator becomes dangerously blurred.
Dance with Bones is a gripping medical thriller about the black market for human body parts, the creeping decay of human conscience, and the futile fight for dignity.
