A review by mikekaz
Night Cage by Andrew Harper, Douglas Clegg
4.0
I think that I might have to change my opinion of Douglas Clegg; he occasionally writes under the pseudonym of Andrew Harper. I used to not like him because his stories kept having flashback within flashback and were a tad confusing. It seems that he has either changed his writing style or I like it more because the last couple of books I read by him were enjoyed.
Night Cage follows Trey Campbell who works at Darden State Hospital, a home for the criminally insane and a place with its own secrets. A young man accused of murder and called Doc is brought in and placed under Trey's care; what ends up happening is a revenge tale that is years in the making. Doc was actually conceived at Darden while his mother was placed there; the father is still unknown but someone at the hospital. The suspense builds as the mystery unravels and the mother's scheme comes to fruition. The story culminates in the abandoned ruins of the old hospital before it was remodeled, a place that is very creepy.
The novel is one that I enjoyed and would recommend. It's not "an instant classic" but it is a solid story and one that you will enjoy.
