A NORTH-EAST medic has published his second novel, exploring the horrors of Nazi eugenics. <\/p>\n
Quentin Smith, a consultant anaesthetist at Sunderland Royal Hospital, set Hubers Tattoo in London in 2011. <\/p>\n
Several loosely connected murders are gradually traced back to the Third Reichs attempts to produce a master race. <\/p>\n
