Mortal Remains — Rick Hanson

Once upon a time, Portland's chic Mount Prairie Institute--an executive clinic for assorted flakes and crazies--was above reproach. Until somebody started playing dangerous mind games with the patients...and the shrinks started dropping like flies.

With the life of an old war buddy at stake, ex-Marine, ex-cop and semi-successful sculptor Adam McCleet enters Mount Prairie's hallowed halls. Committed to catching a killer who seems anything but mortal, Adam finds himself back in action--on a search-and-destroy mission that could send him over the edge.

If he doesn't get committed first.

With its manically inventive plot, savage good humor, and irresistible characters, Mortal Remains is a mystery writing at its most suspenseful--and riotous. As for Rick Hanson, he's so good, he ought to be illegal.
