About the book

Amy Brenner is a medical student who dreads her mandatory clinical rotation on Ward D, the hospital’s secure inpatient psychiatric unit. Her fear stems from a personal connection to the facility that she keeps hidden from her peers. During a single thirteen-hour night shift, a severe storm cuts the ward off from the outside world. Amy discovers that the staff and patients are not who they seem, and as people begin to disappear, she realizes a dangerous individual is manipulating the unit’s security.

This book is for readers who enjoy locked-room mysteries and psychological tension set in clinical environments. Those interested in the power dynamics between doctors and patients will find the shifting perspectives and unreliable narration effective. Readers walk away with a story that questions the boundary between professional detachment and personal trauma, ending with a series of twists that reframe the protagonist’s history and the night’s violent events.
