Pavillon 38 (Paperback or Softback)

There are some mistakes you wish you never made.
Suzanne Lohmann, expert psychiatrist in a unit for the dangerous mentally ill, some of which are convicted criminals, never thought that by discharging Dante, one of her patients in building 38, she was risking her own life.
A few months later, a horrible crime is discovered and every detail seems to lead to Dante. However, Suzanne is still so sure of her diagnosis that she refuses to accept Dante's implication and begins a race against the clock to save her professional reputation and her life. Alone, she must go back over her patient's history to the very origins of his mental illness. Her investigation leads her, and the handsome Inspector Steiner, to a reality far more terrifying than either ever imagined.

Régis Descott explores the immense responsibility of doctors whose diagnosis can lead to a person's conviction or their freedom. His book is based on lengthy and thorough research at one of the four units for the criminally insane in France. He is currently working on a new Suzanne Lohmann investigation.

Auteur de romans historiques et de thrillers psychologiques remarqués, (Pavillon 38, Obscura), tous publiés chez Lattès, Régis Descott se lance dans une véritable chasse aux fantômes, dont les résonances vous poursuivront longtemps.
