Paradox

THE PUZZLE OF PATIENT 815A...

A beautiful young woman with amnesia lies in Ward 8 of Ellis Hospital, remembering nothing about where she was driving when her car plunged over a cliff - or the identity of the dead child in the backseat. Naming the anonymous patient Mathilde, Nurse Adele Monsarrat calls on her psychiatrist ex-lover to help the crash victim recover her shadowed past.
Yet someone is determined to keep Mathilde silenced as a threatening presence infiltrates the dark hospital halls - while outside in the community, four people are brutally murdered in what appear to be professional hits. Then the police uncover disturbing connections between the victims - and Mathilde - forcing Adele into a hot zone of terror, where ruthless violence spreads like a disease no doctor can cure. . . .
