The madman's tale [text (large print)] / John Katzenbach.

Katzenbach, John (Author).

Summary:

It's been twenty years since Western State Hospital was closed down and the last of its inmates reintegrated into society. Francis Petrel was barely out of his teens when his family committed him to the asylum, after his erratic behavior culminated in a terrifying outburst. Now middle-ages, he leads an aimless, solitary life housed in a cheap apartment, perpetually medicated to quiet the chorus of voices in his head. But a reunion o the grounds of the shuttered institution stirs dark memories deep in Francis’s troubled mind about the grisly events that led to the hospital’s demise, and the unsolved murder of a trainee nurse whose mutilated corpse was discovered one night after “lights out.”
