The Lunatic’s Curse by F. E. Higgins
Only available as part of a set, this is book #4 in the Tales from the Sinister City Series.
Deep within the heart of the Moiraean Mountains lies the town of Opum Oppidulum – home to the freezing Lake Beluarum and its rumoured monster. An inescapable asylum stands in the centre of the lake, enclosed by the sheer cliffs of Drop Rock island.
When Ambrose Grammaticus, famous inventor and master engineer, viciously attacks his own son, Rex, he is hauled to the island and imprisoned. Rex knows his evil stepmother, Acantha, is behind his father’s ‘madness’, but how can he prove it? Only the asylum holds the answers…
This is a savage story of treachery, lunacy, greed, revenge and pure unadulterated wickedness.
