美国作家罗宾·科克以其丰富的医学知识和医疗实践为基础,开辟了“医学惊险小说”的崭新领域。这类小说情节惊险,针砭时弊,暴露医疗界的黑幕,其中《昏迷》一书是我国读者比较熟悉的。1990年,他又推出了新作《居心叵测》。这部小说仍然保留了罗宾·科克一以贯之的创作题材,但在主题上又有所深化,不仅反映了医疗界的堕落,而且揭露了司法界的虚伪. Based on his rich medical knowledge and medical practice, American writer Robin Cork opened up a brand new field of “medical thriller”. The stories of these novels are breathtaking, punctuate and expose the shady medical circles. The book Coma is familiar to readers in our country. In 1990, he launched a new work, “Habitat.” This novel still retains Robin Cork’s consistent theme of creation, but its theme has been further deepened, not only reflecting the degradation of the medical community but also exposing the hypocrisy of the judicial community.
