🎉 THE FINAL DOSE, the third book in Patricia Bertényi’s gripping hospital thriller series 𝘋𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝟣, is out today. Congratulations, Patricia!

👩‍⚕️ Set on a cancer ward, THE FINAL DOSE is a tense locked‑room mystery. When a suspicious lump in her breast forces Janka Vitéz into the unfamiliar role of patient, the tireless former cleaning lady—now a consultant to the chief medical examiner—finds the loss of control anything but easy.

👀 When another patient receiving chemotherapy in the same room dies of unexplained causes, the ward is sealed off. The doors will stay closed until the truth is uncovered. Weakening by the day, Janka begins to investigate. But why would anyone want to hasten the death of a gravely ill woman?

✍ Drawing on her experience as an intensive care nurse, Patricia Bertényi writes with the kind of authenticity and clinical insight that makes the hospital setting chillingly real.

🌍 Foreign rights sold to Pegasus (Estonia) and Mando (Poland).

🎉 Happy publication day to author Pia Heikkilä whose captivating novel THE RAT CATCHER OF DELHI is published in Finland today!

📚 A spellbinding journey into India, THE RAT CATCHER OF DELHI tells the story through the eyes of Zoya, a girl who survives by exterminating rats and hiding in plain sight. Sold into factory labor as a child, Zoya now lives in an old haveli in Delhi, surrounded by a makeshift family of street dwellers whose hearts are as generous as their language is rough. Disguised as a boy for safety, she moves between worlds — until one morning, her past comes knocking at the door.

🫶 A dazzling portrait of India in places only lionhearted Zoya can guide us to.

✍ Pia Heikkilä is a Finnish journalist who has lived in India for the last 15 years. She speaks and reads seven languages, including Hindi.
