Deliver Us from Evil

A US Air Force officer on temporary duty in the Far East is captured when he accidentally stumbles on a terrorist plot targeting a US national laboratory. He is tortured and then released in a psychotic state. He is admitted to a mental hospital in the rural southwest where the staff squabbles over how best to treat this strange patient. Who is he? Is he really mentally ill? What information does he possess? Is his life still at risk? What else is in danger?There is also conflict within the group of terrorists who have placed someone at the hospital to monitor the situation. Should they now aim at a different target?In the microcosm of Dos Cerros State Hospital there are good guys and bad guys, but the categories cut across professions and maybe nationalities, too. This book, written by an author who has himself played many of the parts in this drama, is for anyone concerned about both American vulnerability to terrorist attack, and the current state of the US mental health industry.
