The Citadel and The Keys of the Kingdom (two complete novels)

Two novels about two men who are neither heroes nor geniuses but men you will never forget. Andrew Manson is a well-trained, intelligent and ambitious young doctor. he comes to his profession with a raw and stubborn idealism and a promise to "take nothing for granted". But in the distance between Britain's south Wales mining district, where he is initiated into his profession, and London's fashionable West End, where he eventually practices, he becomes a changed man. Andrew Manson tied to be a good doctor thought it didn't pay, and finding himself in a world of the professionally dishonest, let his conscience yield to their example. Manson learns that the citadel, which is the steadfastness of his own integrity, is a rare and difficult thing to attain. "The Citadel" is many things. It is Andrew Manson's story; it is a human and tender love story about a man and the woman who stands by him; and it is an indictment of certain aspects of the medical profession, according to Time magazine, a "brilliantly bitter attack by a man in dead earnest".
