Never Event

Some errors should never happen.

By hour fourteen, nurse Jo Calder has stopped trusting the clock.

Exhausted, understaffed, and running on instinct, Jo is halfway through another impossible overnight shift when she sees a woman standing beside a patient's bed - a woman in old navy scrubs who vanishes seconds after giving one calm warning:

Check the pump.

Jo does. And what she finds should not be possible.

A medication log says her badge was used in a room she never entered. A patient's lab result appears in her mind before the test is run. A decommissioned employee file points to Odette Ferris, a nurse tied to a devastating incident the hospital has spent years refusing to explain.

Everyone around Jo has an answer for what is happening: exhaustion, burnout, stress, grief, too many doubles in too few days.

But the hospital's records are beginning to contradict themselves.

And every warning Jo receives arrives just early enough to save someone - or condemn her.

Dark, tense, and emotionally charged, NEVER EVENT is a medical psychological thriller about the errors no system admits, the nurses who carry them, and the terrifying possibility that the dead may still be trying to prevent the next mistake.
