A constable relentlessly struggling to prove her mettle in a man's world faces off against a dream-wielding psychiatrist in Stranger in the Mind by J.R. Berrywood & S.L. Aspen, a riveting and esoteric work of historical crime fiction.
When a mysterious wave of comatose victims strikes 1920s Liverpool, Detective Constable Amelia Dei goes on the hunt for justice, but when a gift of compassion transforms into a fatal curse, she becomes pulled into a surreal nightmare of a case that could end her career or her life.
A compelling mixture of historical fiction, mystery, and paranormal thriller, this mind-bending read expertly sets a sinister atmosphere where the city feels like an asylum, and the difference between innocence and guilt is as murky as the line between dreams and waking.
