The Madness: A Novel By Dawn Kurtagich

In Dawn Kurtagich’s latest suspenseful and chilling novel, Dr. Mina Murray's life takes a harrowing turn when she receives a distressing email from her estranged best friend, Lucy. Leaving behind her successful psychiatric practice in London, Mina returns to the hauntingly windswept shores of Wales, drawn by Lucy's plea for help and the eerie parallels between Lucy’s symptoms and those of a mysterious amnesiac patient she once treated.

Back in her old home, Mina is confronted by the weight of her past and the unsettling similarities between Lucy’s illness and the enigmatic case that continues to haunt her. As she delves deeper into Lucy’s plight, Mina uncovers a web of dark secrets involving missing girls and a shadowy, nameless force that seems to be at the heart of the mystery—a force that has been lurking on the periphery of her life for years.

As Mina grapples with her own fears and the ancient, terrible truths that come to light, she finds herself entangled in a desperate race against time. With the help of a determined group of women, Mina must confront the monstrous legacy that threatens not only Lucy’s life but her own sanity.

In this atmospheric and gripping tale, Kurtagich masterfully blurs the lines between reality and delusion, creating a chilling narrative where the greatest danger may not come from the shadows, but from within.
