Originally publshed: Great Britain : Bantam Press, 2013.
"The Maude is outside. It wants to come in. It wants to sit on your chest. The mentally ill patients in Beechway High Secure Unit are highly suggestible. A hallucination can spread like a virus. When unexplained power cuts lead to a series of horrifying incidents, fear spreads from the inmates to the staff. Amidst the growing hysteria, AJ, a senior psychiatric nurse, is desperate to protect his charges. Detective Inspector Jack Caffery is looking for the corpse of a missing woman. He knows all too well how it feels to fail to find a loved one's body. When AJ seeks Caffery's help in investigating the trouble at Beechway, each man must face a bitter truth in his own life. Before staring pure evil in the eye" -- from author's web page.

Exciting submitted by amym on August 19, 2014, 12:26pm this isn't as good as the first 2 books in the Jack Caffry series, but it's still better than most thrillers I've read. As usual, the plotting is very tight and you don't see the end coming.
