‘Deliciously dark and utterly compelling – I couldn’t put it down.’ – CLARE MACKINTOSH

They’re locked up for your safety.

Now, you’re locked in with them.

Dr Connie Woolwine has five days to catch a killer.

On a locked ward in the world’s highest-security prison hospital, a scream shatters the night. The next morning, a nurse’s body is found and her daughter has been taken. A ransom must be paid, and the clock is ticking.

Forensic profiler Dr Connie Woolwine is renowned for her ability to get inside the mind of a murderer. Now, she must go deep undercover among the most deranged and dangerous men on earth and use her unique skills to find the girl – before it’s too late.

But as the walls close in around her, can Connie get the killer before The Institution gets her?

A claustrophobic, haunting crime thriller that will keep you up at night, perfect for those who couldn’t put down The Sanatorium and Amy McCulloch’s Breathless.

Readers never want to leave The Institution!

‘Terrifyingly brilliant and an absolute must-read for those who enjoy dark psychological thrillers.’

‘A very dark and exciting read. If you want to stay up all night, love serial killers or just want a strong female heroine , The Institution is for you!’

‘What a story! It gripped me right from the start of the opening chapter. Wow!’

‘Haunting, scary, shocking … this is a book that you won't forget in a hurry.’

‘Dark and terrifying, The Institution had me committed to finishing it from the first chapter!’

‘Very much a chewed-fingernails read … a real roller-coaster’

‘Dark, atmospheric, creepy and hauntingly good, and kept me guessing until the end. I loved it.’
