Synopsis
Narrated by Francis Xavier Petrel, a man who relies on psychiatric medicine to quiet the voices in his head, this novel exhibits a profound understanding of the dark side of the human psyche. Twenty years have passed since Western State Hospital closed its doors and its remaining patients, including young Francis, were reintegrated into the outside world. Upon re-encountering the grounds of the institution certain memories emerge from the recesses of Francis's agitated mind: events that led up to the hospital's closing and the unsolved murder of a young nurse whose mutilated body was found in a closet one night after lights out—the murderer was always suspected to be one of her own patients.

From the Back Cover
By bestseller author of The Analyst.
Francis was barely out of his teens when his family committed him to the asylum, after his behavior ended in a terrifying outburst. The body of a young trainee is found murdered in the nurses' station in the Western State Mental Hospital, there is no shortage of suspects, yet the killer is never found. Twenty years later after the Hospital closed down, ex patient Francis begins to write his chilling account of the murder with some unexpected results... Now he leads a solitary life, medicated all the time. But a reunion on the grounds of the institution stirs something in Francis's mind: memories he thought he had laid to rest about the events that led to Hospital's demise.
