1703 b982137c-cb08-4cc1-9b24-03a0b8529cd1 The alcoholics Jim Thompson calibre (0.7.35) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 1993-08-15T23:22:05.900000+00:00 SUMMARY: Dr. Peter S. Murphy runs a clinic to cure alcoholics. But his charges believe that the only thing that will fix them is another drink. To this bitter struggle of wills, add an orderly who doubles as a quack practitioner, a nurse who is both alluring and ingeniously sadistic, and a misplaced patient whose main problem is his lack of a frontal lobe, and the result is one of Jim Thompson's most harrowingly funny yet deeply sympathetic novels.
