Others decide who doesn't survive the night.**
Mara Ellison is an experienced night-shift nurse who knows how fragile life becomes after midnight. Alarms are quieter. Hallways are darker. And mistakes are easier to hide.
When two patients die without warning during her shift, the hospital calls it coincidence.
Mara knows better.
As she digs deeper, she uncovers a pattern of medication overrides, silent protocols, and administrators more concerned with efficiency than lives. The deeper she goes, the more dangerous the truth becomes-not just for her career, but for her safety.
Because the night nurse isn't just watching patients.
She's deciding who gets mercy.
And who doesn't.
The Night Nurse is a dark, realistic medical crime thriller that pulls readers into the claustrophobic world of night shifts, hospital power structures, and ethical lines quietly crossed when no one is watching.
Perfect for fans of:
medical thrillers
hospital mysteries
crime novels with strong female leads
dark psychological suspense
This is not a story about heroes.
It's about systems.
And what happens when one nurse refuses to stay silent.
