The Man Who Murdered Himself

Cured to Death

The posh, idyllic Care Clinic promises to cure such twentieth-century afflictions as eating disorders, substance abuse, and low self-esteem. But when Shelley Lowenkopf and Homer Greeley--two former detectives from the Bronx--begin to investigate the whereabouts of one of the clinic's most loyal patients, they're in for some shocking treatment.

A maniacal director browbeats patients and staff alike. A beautiful blonde picnics with a chimp and listens to Disney songs on a crank phonograph. And a bunch calling themselves The Church of the Unflagging Eye worship the television set and everything on it. For Lowenkopf and Greeley it would be just another missing Persons case--if people weren't suddenly turning up dead. Now the two detectives must solve a horrible killing, before murder becomes the clinic's nastiest--and most stubborn--habit.
