Hailed by John le Carr� as "an act of courage on the part of its author" and singled out for praise by the leading medical journals in the United States and the United Kingdom, The Body Hunters uncovers the real-life story behind le Carr�'s acclaimed novel The Constant Gardener and the feature film based on it.
