Product DescriptionIf there is a thin divide between brilliance and madness, who is to judge our sanity? Alan Reynolds follows up the five-star rated Flying with Kites with a gripping psychological thriller, Taskers End. The story opens with three criminal psychiatrists reviewing the case-notes and background history of Gerald Perry, a wealthy former forensic science student and diagnosed schizophrenic. We learn about his tragic up-bringing and the incident that lead to him being interned to a mental institution indefinitely. When the decision is eventually made to release him, Gerald assumes a new identity and returns to his family home, Taskers End where he had been brought up by his beloved grand-parents.
