His Beautiful Madness
In a psychiatric hospital far from the city, Alan Shaw, the most dangerous patient, has just passed his 144th psychiatric evaluation. He triumphs in his discharge, but no one knows his illness has never improved. He still sees the phantom of his fiancée, Serena Jenkins—sometimes an angel, sometimes a demon, whispering in his ear, urging him to exact bloody vengeance.
Four years ago, on the day he planned to propose, Serena was brutally raped and murdered. Alan arrived just too late, catching only a glimpse of the four perpetrators walking away, laughing.
Now, finally released, Alan sets his long-planned revenge in motion. Henry Holt, the Shaw family's old butler, has everything prepared. Reviewing the files of the four murderers, Alan decides to strike at the wedding of Zachary Warren and Irene White.
He ambushes Shane Hayes, one of the groomsmen and perpetrators, beating him severely and sending him crashing down into the wedding venue as a gruesome "surprise." As funeral joss paper, inscribed with the details of Serena's murder, flutters down, Zachary, Irene, and the bridesmaid Theresa Hart realize a hidden revenge has begun.
The perpetrators are thrown into disarray. Meanwhile, Alan leverages his medical connections and the Shaw family's three generations of wealth to infiltrate their circle. He deliberately saves Shane to win his trust, manipulates Theresa into serving his purposes, and steps closer to the heart of the conspiracy, and the truth behind Serena's death.
