Coma, 1977, Robin Cook
Another 70s paperback cover with rather frank nudity.
It struck me the other day that a tremendous number of thrillers of the era are concerned with trying to convince you that doing completely innocuous things, such as going to the beach, an amusement park, a hospital, will end with you being horribly murdered and that is why you shouldn’t do such things. It’s that slightly moralistic edge that seems to differentiate them from contemporary entries in the genre.
