Shimmering blonde hair framing an exquisite pale face.  Deep green eyes, a generous mouth.  Matthew Hope took one look and fell instantly in love.

Sarah Whittaker had everything:  stunning good looks, youth, money, social standing.  Everything, that is, but her freedom.  Because Sarah Whittaker was currently residing, against her inclinations and her will, in Knott's Retreat -- familiarly known to the residents of Florida's booming West Coast as Nut's Retreat.  In the State of Florida, County of Calusa, Sarah Whittaker was a certified paranoid schizophrenic.  That's what the doctors said.  It's what the court-ordered psychiatric commitment papers said.  It was not what Sarah Whittaker said -- and that was why she had called Matthew Hope.  Would he, she asked, act as her attorney and fight for her freedom -- not to mention fighting for the $650,000 left her by her father and now controlled by her mother.

Hope might have lost his heart, but he hadn't lost his wits.  He probed Sarah's story of a mother driven by hate to confine her only child to a mental institution and decided she was telling the truth.  He took the case.

And in so doing was led into a hall of mirrors in which reality and delusion blurred into murder, mutilation, and the greatest danger Hope had ever known.
