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.
