Sanity's Thief: An Eric Beckman Paranormal Thriller - Paperback

by Al Macy (Author)

Private detective Eric Beckman can read minds. He's used to weird cases, but this one may be his most difficult yet. A beloved relative has disappeared into a suspicious psychiatric hospital and Eric has no choice but to go in after her.

Getting in is easy-he knows how to fake insanity. Getting out ... not so much.

The asylum's director has some personality issues of his own and is doing more than just treating patients. Now that Eric is one of them, his mind may be headed for a fate worse than death.

His only hope for escape is to work together with the other inmates. But collaborating with schizophrenics has its own challenges, even when he knows what they're thinking. Unless he can get word to the outside, the case could cost him his sanity.

Author Biography

Al Macy writes because he has stories to tell. In school, he was the class clown and always the first volunteer for show and tell. His teachers would say "Al has a lot of imagination." Then they'd roll their eyes. But he put his storytelling on the back burner until he retired and wrote a blog about his efforts to improve his piano sight-reading. That's when his love of storytelling burbled up to the surface, along with quirky words like "burble." He had even more fun writing his second book, Drive, Ride, Repeat, but was bummed by non-fiction's need to stick to "the truth" (yucko). From then on it was fiction all the way, with a good dose of his science background burbling to the surface. Macy's top priority is compelling storylines with satisfying plot twists, but he never neglects character development. No, wait ... his top priority is quirkiness, then compelling storylines, then character development. No, wait ...
