"A haunting descent into madness"
In Bedlam, LJ Ross delivers another gripping psychological thriller with echoes of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Forensic psychologist Dr. Alexander Gregory goes undercover in a shady private psychiatric facility in New York, tasked with locating and evaluating the key witness in a high-profile case against a notorious mafia boss. But the institution is far from safe, and with the staff proving untrustworthy, Dr. Gregory must convincingly feign mental illness to carry out his mission undetected.
As the walls begin to close in and the few people aware of his true identity are no longer reachable, Gregory is left isolated and vulnerable. Having drawn on the trauma of his own past to sell his act, he now finds himself teetering dangerously close to the edge. With his reality blurring and no one to trust, the question becomes: can he escape before the role he’s playing consumes him completely?
This novel sets the scene nicely for the next installment, Mania.
