About This Book

Rick Desmond isn't crazy. True he may have anger management issues, but he always figured that was something he could deal with. His parents have threatened to lock him up before, and they almost had gone through with it. Almost. Except this time, it was past an almost. The year is 1968, and the legacy of Brookline Asylum is only beginning.
