Anne Stanbury wakes up in a strange bed, having been kidnapped from her home. As the panic settles in, she realizes she has been committed to a lunatic asylum, deemed insane and therefore unfit to stand trial for an unspeakable crime. But all is not as it seems. Edgar Stanbury, her husband as well as a grieving father, is torn between helping his confined wife recover her sanity and seeking revenge for his ruined life. But Anne's future rests wholly in the hands of Dr. George Savage, chief medical officer of Bethlem Royal Hospital. The Medea Complex is the darkly compelling story of a lunatic, a lie, and a shocking revelation that elucidates the difference between madness and evil."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Commitment (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mental illness $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20171201010227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D1E98ADE1CBD11E69A0A99B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
