LOST CAUSES

When Psychologist Casey West went to Detective Karl Larkin, with a wild story about the mental hospital where she worked he quickly dismissed it. He had worked in Springfield for twenty years and Lakeview had never had a complaint lodged against it. Things changed when a nurse was murdered there and the evidence did not match the management story. Jerry Conners, who ran Lakeview, had friends in high places who stopped the investigation. It was then that Casey begged to be Larkin’s eyes and ears inside the place. Would she help him crack the case or would she wind up dead like her friend?
