A deep and riveting psychological thriller inspired by true events of the Victorian era, "The Medea Complex" explores the nature of the human psyche: what possesses us, what drives us, and how love, passion, and hope for the future can drive us to insanity.
1885. Anne Stanbury wakes up in a strange bed, having been kidnapped from her home. As the panic settles in, she realizes she has been committed to a lunatic asylum, deemed insane and therefore unfit to stand trial for an unspeakable crime. But all is not as it seems .
Edgar Stanbury, her husband as well as a grieving father, is torn between helping his confined wife recover her sanity and seeking revenge for his ruined life. But Anne s future rests wholly in the hands of Dr. George Savage, chief medical officer of Bethlem Royal Hospital.
"The Medea Complex" is the darkly compelling story of a lunatic, a lie, and a shocking revelation that elucidates the difference between madness and evil ."
