Synopsis: MIND OF A MANIAC Simon Mayne, a fifty-eight-year-old retired criminal psychologist, lives in reclusive solitude in a dilapidated Victorian cottage at the end of Oak Lane, Hertfordshire, two years after his wife Mary's apparent suicide. Haunted by grief and increasingly isolated, Simon begins experiencing gaps in his memory, misplaced objects, and vivid nightmares that bleed into his waking reality. His fear intensifies when he discovers bloodstained tissues, mysterious footprints, and his car keys moved without explanation, alongside news reports of a series of strangulation murders across North London committed with forensic precision.Convinced he is suffering from the same rare early-onset dementia that killed both his parents, Simon begins a methodical self-investigation, documenting evidence in a clinical notebook. As his reality fractures, he encounters manifestations of his fractured psyche, a sinister alter ego he calls "the Other," and a woman who claims to be a surviving victim demanding justice. The boundary between Simon's professional knowledge of criminal minds and his own potential for violence collapses as he uncovers bloodied clothing in his car boot, a severed hand bearing a cryptic message, and increasingly disturbing gaps in his memory.The novel plunges into the architecture of delusion as Simon grapples with competing realities: Is he the victim of an elaborate conspiracy involving his doctors, or is he the perpetrator of the very crimes he spent his career studying? In this psychological horror, MIND OF A MANIAC constructs a labyrinth where every revelation spawns deeper uncertainty. The novel's devastating conclusion exposes the full horror of Simon's condition, his reality an intricate construction of guilt, grief, and neurological decay, leaving the reader to confront whether the maniac was ever separate from the man at all.©2026 Kevian Liley (P)2026 Kevian Liley
