By Dean M Atwood

What causes a sane person to end up in a mental institution? Nina says it's love, sex, religion-and murder.She should know. She's been in an insane asylum for over fifty years.The Retreat appears to be an idyllic setting to provide respite for troubled souls. Appearances can be deceiving. It may look like a college campus, but beneath the facade, it's still the Vermont Asylum for the Insane.A young woman falls to her death from an iconic, stone tower located on the Retreat grounds. Brandon Key is admitted as a patient, but claims to be a detective authorized to do an undercover investigation of the suspicious death. Only thing is, he was unconscious on the tower roof when the woman's body was found on the rocks below and he has no memories of the incident.Brandon's investigation leads him to two seemingly normal patients: Addie Proctor (a beautiful heiress) and Nina Newton (the longest tenured patient at the asylum). What shocking secrets emerge that explain why Addie, Nina, and Brandon find themselves at the Retreat? Will Brandon be able to discern reality from delusion to find the truth about the Retreat Tower death?
