Publisher's Synopsis
When wealthy Cleveland businessman David Feighan is admitted to St. Luke's Behavioral Health Unit in a catatonic state, he "miraculously" recovers in the presence of Nurse Joshua Ramsey. David insists his wife, lawyer, and the hospital administrator are plotting to have him permanently committed and implores Joshua to help him. Are these the ravings of an insane man or is something more sinister at work?Then David's wife and lawyer are found dead and Detective Nicholas Silvano gets the case. The husband is usually the first suspect but David has a solid alibi - he's locked up at St. Luke's. The investigation stalls...until a crayon drawing leads Nick back to St. Luke's and a surprising new suspect. "Fans of dark crime fiction will appreciate the unusual psychological twists in this mystery set in a mental ward. Bort and Madsen ground the world of the book solidly in the maddening bureaucracy of a big city hospital, leading the reader to believe if you weren't crazy when you checked in, you will be before long. I look forward to reading more from this innovative crime writing team."--W. Bruce Cameron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man "Ex-cop and former psych ward nurse Karl Bort teams up for a second time with professional writer Thekla Madsen in a gripping tale of psychosis and murder set in Bort's hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.
