The Lonely Place

The Lonely Place Trilogy, Book 1

A chilling debut novel by the author of acclaimed non-fiction works, including High Royds Hospital and Meanwood Park Hospital.

George thought his past was buried—until the call came. His mother, locked away in Wakehurst Psychiatric Hospital, had died.

Eighteen years had passed since he left his hometown of Whitefish, Minnesota. Eighteen years he had left her to rot in his memory.

But when a friend insists he returns for the funeral, George steps back into a town populated by familiar faces he’d hoped never to see again.

As George digs into the truth behind his mother’s death, he uncovers something far darker than he ever imagined—a sinister force that has been waiting for him to come home.
