Lucid Interval

By: Desai, Sanjeev Ranjan

Every courtroom is a theatre.
But not every actor knows they're on stage.
In Lucid Interval, the boundaries between law and lunacy, science and subjectivity, blur with every turn of the page. This is not just a murder mystery-it is a forensic exploration into the unstable terrain of the human mind and the soul of a justice system struggling to define sanity.
Elias Granger was once a celebrated neuroscientist. Now he stands accused of the intimate, calculated murder of his wife. But as the trial unfolds, it becomes clear that this case is anything but ordinary. At its centre lies the controversial concept of the lucid interval-a fleeting state of clarity between episodes of madness. Is Elias a cold-blooded killer? Or the victim of his own brilliant but broken mind?
Blending rigorous forensic science, real psychiatric doctrine, and legal authenticity, Lucid Interval invites readers into the claustrophobic drama of the courtroom and the ethical gray zones of mental illness. With characters as complex as the questions they raise, this novel will challenge your beliefs about guilt, justice, and the limits of the human psyche.
What if sanity is only temporary?
What if the truth is unknowable?
You're not here to read a story. You're here to decide a verdict.
Welcome to the trial.
Welcome to the interval.
