Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell
5.0

You know that you've just encountered a rare jewel of a novel when the first scene describes a fight between a rat and a pigeon over a small piece of food. Beat the Reaper is a great novel about a doctor in WitSec whose past catches up with him. That's all you need to know. Forget about symbolism or any other literary devices, just enjoy.
