A Stranger in Blood
By:Pamela Cullen
Published on 2006 by
In 1957, Dr Bodkin Adams was accused of murder. This is an eerily familiar story; a charmer, using drugs to control patients, maintaining poor records and causing concern amongst fellow professionals. Yet, for over twenty years, he avoided any police investigation mainly because of the popular disbelief that a doctor could be a serial killer. The police had a strong case against Bodkin Adams. Many of his patient's deaths followed a similar pattern: the deceased was generally an elderly woman of means in Dr Adams' private practice; he was often the last person to see the deceased alive and visited several times on the day they died. Frequently mentioned in his patient's wills he was bequeathed two Rolls Royces his behaviour made the local legal community concerned. Eventually only one local solicitor would work with the Doctor in the drawing up of patient's wills. However, in spite of the welter of evidence, the case against Adams failed at trial. Following close on Dame Janet Smith's Shipman Inquiry report, Pamela Cullen's book is chilling and timely. The author has had unique access to police files on the case here made available for the first time and ultimately she questions whether any system for monitoring the behaviour of doctors can protect patients from a cunning, motivated, rogue doctor with a taste for murder.
