His Final Patient: the chilling psychological thriller full of twists that will grip you from start to finish in 2026

'Brainy, twisty, inventive' AJ Finn author of The Woman in the Window

Don't let him get in your head.

THE PSYCHIATRIST claims he can predict when people will die and has been using his skills with chilling accuracy.

THE PATIENTS trust their shrink. They believe him when he tells them their date and the predictions have always come true.

THE DETECTIVE is shaken when a man shoots himself after announcing it’s his ‘death day’. On his body, DI Silas Hart finds an hourglass, catapulting him back to two suspicious deaths that have haunted him for years.

When the psychiatrist turns his sights on Hart, the countdown to his own death day begins.

Will he survive? Or is there no escaping fate?
