Description

She was almost driven mad by it. Now she’s back—but in a completely different capacity…

The psychiatric clinic “Pine Edge” is a huge mansion in the middle of swamps. For an entire century, people’s psyches were mutilated here under the pretense of fighting their madness. It all ended with a furious patient rebellion and the murder of the caretaker. Now the building houses the clinic “For the Beautiful Me”—the last hope for women desperate to lose weight.

Jenny is one of the victims of “Pine Edge.” For many years she spent within the walls of this sadistic place and still can’t come to her senses. But when her landlord decides to claim the mansion for himself, it’s exactly Jenny who is offered the task of infiltrating there and collecting compromising evidence on the owner of the new facility. The girl can’t refuse—because the amount offered is too tempting for someone who can barely make ends meet.

The former patient of a mental hospital returns to the place of her torment with horror. But she finds something completely different from what she was sent for: the current clinic has a secret far more serious than any scheme or manipulation. A deadly secret…

The author of the book worked as a nurse in an old-style psychiatric clinic—the kind depicted here.
