Investigation marshal Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule teammate on an island. The only building on the island this is a psychiatric hospital that much more like a jail than a hospital. A "patient" of this "hospital" has disappeared and two marshal will find him. During their investigation, strange discoveries will bring our two marshal to ask about this prison hospital. Finally a detective story where we do is not facing an inspector in pursuit of a serial killer. A closed session taking an unexpected denouement. This is not what might be called a masterpiece (which is why I do not put 5 stars), but I strongly recommend it to fans of thrillers who want to read something a little different.
