Anděl smrti – Graeber Charles (2024)

He was supposed to be their good angel, but he became a nightmare. A chilling true crime story about medicine, madness, and murder. ***** After his arrest in 2003, the media quickly dubbed nurse Charles Cullen the "Angel of Death." But Cullen did not kill out of compassion, nor was he any simple monster. He was a beloved son, husband, loving father, best friend, and a highly qualified and often praised nurse. Yet, he is believed to be responsible for the deaths of up to 300 patients. ***** Charles Graeber presents Cullen as a surprisingly intelligent and troubled young man whose promising career was derailed by an urge to kill, and whose shy demeanor masked his twisted inner self even from family and close friends. If it weren't for two tireless, now former detectives from the Newark homicide department who worked hard to piece together all the fragments of Cullen's career, and one of his colleagues who was willing to risk her job and the safety of her children, who knows how many more lives could have been lost at his hands. ***** The book was adapted into a film titled The Good Nurse (Netflix, 2022) starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain.
