One night a young child makes a call to the emergency services, begging for help. When the police arrive at the house they find a mother and her three young children brutally murdered and the father with a knife stuck in him. We don't waste our sympathy on him for long though - Dr David Marquette, successful Miami surgeon and apparently devoted family man is soon charged with their murder.

If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[The Darkness Inside]] by John Rickards or for another book which takes the fiction route to mental illness you might appreciate Patrick Gale's [[Notes From An Exhibition]] which looks at bi-polar disorder.
