'Pulses with urgency . . . unforgettable.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review

'Bold and compelling, with complex, memorable characters.' Mary Watson, author of The Cleaner

Two patients are fighting for their lives. Nina, the hospital nurse, reads their notes:

Leroy: stab wound, gang member, police escort.
Dev: stomach pain, artist, distraught mother.

Nina is meant to treat all her patients equally: not to pick favourites, and not to judge. Except tonight, understaffed and overstretched, both patients need her. She makes a split-second choice - and leaves one man to die.

And that's when she realises that on this busy hospital ward, no-one is exactly what they seem.

'A tense read with a slow build up to an explosive ending.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review

'Dark, profound and deeply thought provoking.' Lisa Timoney

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
