Menaker State Hospital is a curse, a refuge, a place of
imprisonment, a necessity, a nightmare, a salvation. When Dr. Lise Shields took a job at Menaker State Hospital
five years ago, she was warned that many of the patients at
the correctional psychiatric facility would never leave.
This was where Maryland’s judicial system sent those who
were either incompetent to stand trial or not responsible by
reason of insanity. The residents have little hope for a
normal life, and might never comprehend the brutality of the
crimes they’ve committed. But what happens when a place like Menaker becomes
corrupted, when it becomes a tool to silence the innocent,
to conceal an injustice, to contain a secret? Why is it that
the newest patient does not seem to belong there, that the
hospital administrator has fallen silent, and that Lise is
being watched by two men with seemingly lethal intent? The
answers are closer than she realizes and could cost her
everything she holds dear. In this chilling follow-up to The Absence of Mercy,
author John Burley—a master at medical and psychological
detail—showcases the many ways in which the dangers of the
outside world pale in comparison to the horrors of the human
mind.
