The Black of the Room

Unsanctioned experiments. Innocent volunteers. Deadly consequences. Kay Osbourn had it all-a fascinating job, a devoted boyfriend in David Carter, and a bright future. Then David goes missing…and nothing will ever be the same again.

It is 1958 and Kay is senior technician to Dr. Maxwell Meddleton, an eminent psychologist. At first, she has no suspicion David’s erratic behavior has anything to do with her boss…until she discovers he was an unwitting volunteer in Meddleton’s unauthorized sensory deprivation experiments. Driven to take matters into her own hands, Kay is too late to prevent tragedy.

Though she does her best to go on with life, she is haunted by her past. The years turn to decades and a new century is born. Finally daring to believe those turbulent times are behind her, Kay finds joy in an unexpected relationship while on a tropical vacation.

Then Kay disappears…

What follows is a twisting tale of madness, deceit, and deception.
