Charlie Clarke de Richard Vandeweghe

Charlie Clarke: The Traverse City State Hospital Series, cartea 3

Autor Richard Vandeweghe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 aug 2026
Late 1970s, Michigan. When newspaper reporter Jake Stone meets Charlie Clarke, he expects another routine story. Instead, he encounters a mystery: Charlie, a recently released patient from the Traverse City State Hospital, has been pleading to be readmitted. Why would anyone choose to return to a mental institution? As Jake investigates Charlie's past, he uncovers a troubling chapter in Michigan's history. In the years preceding the closure of state mental hospitals, thousands of patients were sent back to "home communities" they had not lived in for decades-often without family, support, or resources. Through Charlie's story, Jake confronts a haunting question: What became of the patients who had been released?
