Description
"Jack Adams skillfully unravels this unnerving tale of suspense with a keen sense of place and character. Asylum is well worth the price of admission." B. Michael Radburn, author of 'The Crossing' and 'The Falls'.
Ten-year-old best friends, Nathan and Adam, really liked Joe. He was their friend, an artist, the man they spoke to through the wire fence of the lunatic asylum. But something happened behind those walls, in those rooms, on the grounds, at the river. The inmate sketched it all – fine lines, truth in the negative space, truth in the pencil strokes. Then one day Joe was gone.
Twenty years later Nathan and Adam receive a letter.

“This one had me at Asylum. And since that’s the title, we’re talking pretty much from the get go. It works because Nate and Adam are such nice guys and they make a very likeable team. It works because the writing is brisk and dynamic. It works because the rest of the characters are compelling in their own ways. Entertaining, certainly. Enjoyable, for sure.” Mia D., NetGalley reviewer.
“An entertaining book that kept me wanting to know how it ended. Good writing and characters.” Heather Bennett, NetGalley reviewer.
“What struck me about this book was the two lead men - Adam and Nate. They aren't your stereotypical men. Both are flawed… their friendship has withstood the test of time. I wasn't expecting a lot of the twists that came along, which was refreshing in a book of this genre. I was kept guessing right until the end, and I can honestly say that it's been a while since a book has done that to me. I can't wait to see more from Jack Adams.” Stephanie Ayadassen, NetGalley reviewer.
“Well written, interesting likeable characters and just the right amount of suspense drama to keep your interest.” Cathie Salvo, NetGalley reviewer.
