When psychiatrist David Manne is asked by a police detective to consult on an unusual case, he finds himself in a seedy apartment on New York´s Lower East Side, evaluating a suspect who insists he´s not who the police say he is.
Unable to control his curiosity, David surreptitiously follows the case to an eerie uptown hospital staffed by military doctors returned from World War II. Is the man caught up in a top secret medical testing program? The closer David gets to finding out, the more dangerously entangled he becomes in an intricate game of conspiracy and mistaken identity- a deadly game that threatens to unmoor him from his memories, his sense of reality, his very life.
Written in relentlessly probing prose, with startling plot twists, The Reflection is a powerful psychological thriller that carries the weight of an instant modern classic.
1950s New York. Disturbed by a troubling phone call, Dr Manne isn´t himself when he´s called out by the police to evaluate a man suspected of psychosis. But the man is perfectly calm, and insists he´s not who the police claim he is. Manne isn´t sure what to believe, but something definitely isn´t right. Before he knows it, he´s helping his patient escape from an unfamiliar psychiatric hospital that reminds him of a story he heard during the war, about a secret government medical testing programme
