The Asylum — John Edward Ames

Welcome to the Cypress Island Clinic. Located on an isolated stretch of the Mississippi River, it is the brainchild of a brilliant chemist - an asylum for disturbed teenagers. No one really knows what goes on there. Except the patients. And for them, its too late. -- Dr. Malachi Feldman has made the most incredible discovery in modern medicine. With his remarkable new wonder drug, he is the manufacturer of paranoid delusions, the creator of mad hallucinations and deranged fantasies...the master of life and death.

Until Reno Sloan, a lawyer-turned-private eye with a daughter of his own, decides to check in.
