Book description
It is 1950s America and madness is in the air. In a world where the
'cures' for craziness include coma therapy, cyanide treatment and
full-frontal lobotomies, Dr. William T. Friedrich, a young and ambitious
psychology professor at Yale, stumbles upon a tropical plant that seems
to possess the secret ingredient of happiness. In Casper Gedsic, a
fiercely intelligent, socially inept, near-suicidal maths student, he
seems to have found the perfect guinea pig. But when his experiments
goes awry, Casper's thirst for revenge turns murderous and his actions
have consequences that will haunt Friedrich and his family forever…
Dirk Wittenborn is a screenwriter who lives in New York City.
