#1 Sunday Times bestselling author Freida McFadden returns with Ward D: a gripping locked room thriller set in an eerie hospital ward.

***Medical student Amy Brenner is spending the night on a locked psychiatric ward. All she has to do is make it through the night shift...

Ward D is the hospital’s mental health unit and as a medical student, Amy is required to gain experience on the floor. But little do her colleagues know it may force her to confront a past she’s fought hard to forget.

The night starts. The countdown begins.

As the hours tick by, Amy grows increasingly convinced something terrible is happening within the ward’s tightly secured walls. When patients and staff start to vanish without a trace, it becomes clear that everyone on the unit is in grave danger.

Amy never wanted to spend the night on Ward D. Now, she might not make it out alive.

Ward D once again demonstrates why Freida McFadden is the most talked-about voice in contemporary crime fiction, delivering a taut psychological thriller that will have you gripped right to the thrilling final twist.
