The Private Patient is a 2008 crime novel by English author P. D. James, the fourteenth and last in her Adam Dalgliesh series.
In Dorset, the once magnificent Cheverell Manor has been renovated and transformed into a plastic surgery clinic, run by the cosmetic practitioner George Chandler-Powell. Two days after Rhoda Gradwyn, an investigative journalist, arrives in the hope of having her almost lifelong facial scar removed, she's murdered and Chandler-Powell finds his surgery under scrutiny from Dalgliesh and his team, who are soon caught in a race against time when another body shows up.
