Sometimes People Die: A Novel – A Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month Medical Thriller

*A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick* *The Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month* *A CrimeReads Most Anticipated Book of Fall* When too many patients die under his watch, a troubled young doctor suspects murder. But are his instincts to be trusted? Returning to practice after a suspension for stealing opioids, a young doctor takes the only job he can find: a post as a physician at the struggling St. Luke's Hospital in east London. Amid the maelstrom of sick patients, overworked staff and underfunded wards, a more insidious secret soon declares itself: too many patients are dying. And a murderer may be lurking in plain sight. Drawing on his experiences as a physician, Simon Stephenson takes readers into the dark heart of life as a hospitalist to ask the question: Who are the people we gift the power of life and death, and what does it do to them? As beautifully written and witty as it is propulsive, Sometimes People Die is an unforgettable thriller that will haunt you long after you turn the last page.
