For those of you who love their medical dramas (and are in the trenches waiting for S3 of The Pitt), we have two great titles to keep you going!
'Post-mortem' from Tim Booth features many a darkly funny tale from his time as a paramedic, as well as stories from those who work around death.
'A Little Unwell' is a stunning debut novel from Dr Kerry Jewell, all about the highs and lows of the medical system, following Junior Doctor Amy and all her colourful patients.

Matt Nable is back with a brand new propulsive crime read.
A page-turning thriller, Mire takes us from the testosterone-fueled stock market floor in 1980s Sydney to the coastal green hills of the NSW South Coast and onto the Mafia-ruled streets of New York. The body count is high - and the stakes are even higher.
