Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Young Reporter Jack Sheet gets himself probated into the local state hospital to ferret out a killer and find an expose for his "Big Story." Then his safety net rips and he's on his own and caught in a meatgrinder. Taut and thrilling, this book gives a savagely real portrait of the cruel and unforgiving mental hospitals of the fifties and sixties. Other works from the same author prove the man knew well of what he wrote. A must read for those of us who always knew "...Cuckoo's Nest" was the sugar coated version. The real thing was so much worse.

Jack drops out of college and miraculously lands a job on the state's leading newspaper. He comes under the wing of a grizzled newsman vet, Lee Robb, who trains him tough and fires him up to find a boffo career-building story early. Jack puts himself in a 1950's Insane Asylum to check out the suspicious death of an alcoholic named Patrick Francis Moran. Jack jumps the gun and circumvents his cautious managing editor and his safety net gets ripped. What's a boy to do when all help fails and he's stranded with a false identity, a shady purpose and a ward full of violent men and convict criminals? And those are the good guys because if the administration discovers him or his purpose, he is truly dead.
