Locked away. To an outsider, Hampton Farms Sanitarium looked like a pleasant resort hotel, but beautiful Lynn Reynolds was no outsider. She was a patient in this exclusive and expensive asylum, watched over every moment, forbidden contact with her loved ones. And her memory of the past was locked away as surely as she was. Who had put her here? Who would help her escape? Dr. Thomas Matthews, who ran Hampton Farms and seemed so kindly and understanding? Young and arrogant Dr. Julian Rust, who clearly had no use for Lynn? The nurse, Mary Taylor, a lovely woman haunted by a secret torment of her own? Then the slayings began, and suddenly, Lynn not only had to prove she was sane, but that she was not a murderess.
