Mysterious deaths at the long-defunct Crownsville mental institution have driven Maryland detective Mike Simms and reporter Paul Blair to dig deeper into the events that forced the infamous facility to close its doors, and what they find is a secret DYING to get out! But as they pursue the case, it is revealed that their own connections to this terrible place are proving to be much closer than either could have imagined. Both with troubled pasts, is it possible that their own lives were unknowingly defined by the ominous shadow the Crownsville institution cast over this quiet Maryland community?
