** *NEW YORK TIMES* BESTSELLER • The award-winning book that inspired an Apple Original series from Apple TV+ • A landmark investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by Hurricane Katrina—and the suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice—from a Pulitzer Prize–winning physician and reporter “An amazing tale, as inexorable as a Greek tragedy and as gripping as a whodunit.”— *Dallas Morning News* * * * *After Hurricane Katrina struck and power failed, amid rising floodwaters and heat, exhausted staff at Memorial Medical Center designated certain patients last for rescue. Months later, a doctor and two nurses were arrested and accused of injecting some of those patients with life-ending drugs. *Five Days at Memorial* , the culmination of six years of reporting by Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink, unspools the mystery, bringing us inside a hospital fighting for its life and into the most charged questions in health care: which patients should be prioritized, and can health care professionals ever be excused for hastening death? Transforming our understanding of human nature in crisis, *Five Days at Memorial* exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals how ill-prepared we are for large-scale disasters—and how we can do better. **ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: *The New York Times Book Review *• ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:* Chicago Tribune, Seattle Times, Entertainment Weekly, Christian Science Monitor, Kansas City Star*** * * * **WINNER: National Book Critics Circle Award, J.
