Pero un reencuentro en los terrenos de la clausurada institucion remueve algo profundo en la mente agitada de Francis: unos recuerdos sombrios, que el creia haber enterrado, sobre los truculentos hechos que condujeron al cierre del Western State Hospital, y el asesinato sin resolver de una joven enfermera, cuyo cadaver mutilado fue encontrado una noche despues de que se apagaran las luces. La policia sospecha de un paciente, pero solo ahora, con la reaparicion del asesino, se conocera la respuesta. John Katzenbach demuestra su destreza para provocar la tension en el lector, tal como hiciera en El psicoanalista. / Its 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-aged, he leads an aimless, solitary life housed in a cheap apartment, periodically tended to by his sisters, and perpetually medicated to quiet the chorus of voices in his head. But a reunion on the grounds of the shuttered institution stirs something deep in Franciss troubled mind: dark memories he thought he had laid to rest, about the grisly events that led to Western State Hospitals demise.
