About The Patient: a killer psychological thriller

James thought he’d be safe in this old house. He was wrong. Ten years ago, James Owens was convicted of a murder he couldn’t remember committing. Now, finally released from the mental institution where he’s served his time, he is placed under house arrest in the sprawling family home he has inherited from his father. Living in isolation, visited only by his therapist, parole officer, and supportive but controlling twin Janet, he at least has something resembling peace. But he is still haunted by hallucinations, nightmares, and bizarre memories which may or may not be real. Strange sounds in the house, and objects which disappear or are mysteriously damaged all add to his fear that he is sliding into uncontrolled insanity again. But is he? Or is his fragile mental state being manipulated by someone with a sinister agenda of their own? When tragedy strikes, James must go on a journey that will force him to confront the past – and the haunted depths of his own tortured soul. The Patient – the terrifying psychological thriller perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, and K L Slater.
