Through this internet message board, Parker hopes to communicate with the world his effort to cure one bewildering patient. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We learn, as Parker did on his first day at the hospital, of the facility's most difficult, profoundly dangerous case--a forty-year-old man who was originally admitted to the hospital at age six. This patient has no known diagnosis. His symptoms seem to evolve over time. Every person who has attempted to treat him has been driven to madness or suicide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Desperate and fearful, the hospital's directors keep him strictly confined and allow minimal contact with staff for their own safety, convinced that releasing him would unleash catastrophe upon the outside world. Parker, brilliant and overconfident, takes it upon himself to discover what ails this patient and finally cure him. But from his first encounter with the mysterious patient, things spiral out of control and, facing a possibility beyond his wildest imaginings, Parker is forced to question everything he thought he knew. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fans of Sarah Pinborough's \u003cem\u003eBehind Her Eyes\u003c\/em\u003e and Paul Tremblay's \u003cem\u003eThe Cabin at the End of the World\u003c\/em\u003e will be riveted by Jasper DeWitt's astonishing debut.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJASPER DEWITT lives in New York City.
