Tortured Memory

One December evening, the Berkeley Police find psychiatrist Abbie Adler sitting in her car at Inspiration Point, overlooking the East Bay of San Francisco. She’s bruised and catatonic. She’s admitted to the psychiatric ward at Brier Hospital, where her condition, and its cause, remain a mystery. After standard treatments fail, Abbie undergoes electroshock therapy. She finally wakes up but remembers nothing of the experience, and discovers significant memory gaps from the past few years. Prior to the incident, Abbie had been dealing with the devastating news that two rape victims in her care had been abducted and murdered. Now faced with her own difficult recovery, Abbie is haunted by memory flashes and nightmares. She begins suspecting that one of her adult patients may have been the killer, but when the police find Abbie’s prime suspect brutally murdered, both she and the police are befuddled. Now Abbie is even more intent in identifying the strangler and anyone who may be abetting him. Will she finally get justice for her patients, or will the strangler get away with murder?
