Praying For Sleep: Jeffery Deaver

Michael Hrubek, a young schizophrenic, has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane - and he's making his way to Lis Atcheson, the teacher who testified at his murder trial. Four people are racing to intercept him: his psychiatrist; the hospital director; a professional tracker; and Lis's husband who must get to Hrubek before the madman reaches his wife. But Michael's mind, with his delusions of betrayal and murder, is crystal clear about one thing. He knows Lis better than she knows herself. And he carries with him a monstrous secret that will tear apart many lives in the course of one horrifying night.
