Paperback / Hardback

The name’s Jack Steen, Night Nurse at an asylum for the criminally insane.

For those who arrive at my ward, mine is the last face they’ll see before they die. Most of them know me as their Angel of Death.

I can make death come easy. But there’s a catch. I need their confessions. The ones everyone wants to hear.

This time, it’s all about keeping it in the family.

Despite his actions, Patient 424 insists he was only protecting his daughter. Patient 1001, a pig farmer and a ‘good’ father failed in ways that can’t be forgiven. Patient 523 is a mob boss—but whether he’s powerful or pathetic is for you to decide. Patient 983 claims she only ever wanted to love children in her care—you be the judge what drove her to dark ends, then.
I write down everything they say—every word, every pause, every slip.
But they’re liars. Manipulators. Killers.
Are these confessions the truth? Or just one last game?
I don’t know.
And soon, neither will you.
