Emily Flesher always wanted to help those inmates she encountered in the Weston State Hospital where her mother worked, and she often played as a child. Having obtained her goal of becoming a psychiatric nurse, she set out to help. Her experience with her first patient had her glad the hospital closed two years later.

Steve Reynolds was handling the investigation of several deaths closely linked to the now closed hospital, including the seemingly innocent fatal accident of a Doctor Braley who had apparently fallen to his death while conducting a tour of the building. Intent on contacting as many former employees as possible, it became more pressing when another doctor died under mysterious circumstances on another employee’s porch. Could Emily hold the key to the mystery?

After the incident of Doctor Jameson’s death on her front porch, Emily was ready for any kind of answers, and they came vaguely from Mr. Reynolds. Grabbing at the chance for some clarity, she agreed to meet Mr. Reynolds in Downtown Charleston. What she found out would tax her very sanity.

Mr. Sean P. McCracken has written an edge of your seat thriller that kept me mesmerized until the cliff-hanger ending. I was immediately drawn into the story as it unfolded, which never let me rest. I was suspicious of Mr. Reynolds, and even more apprehensive of Mr. Thompson and this N.A.A.P.I. All in all this book will have any reader waiting for the next chapter just to find out what happens. Bravo, Mr. McCracken, you have a good one on your hands.
