Crime Traveler

Joyce Davenport is a senior crime scene investigator focused on making the unjust pay, having seen thousands of scenes she can not unsee. She is determined and tenacious, and never lets a cold case sit for too long.

Her most recent case follows a trail of cold cases over a century old to one that occurred just last month. There is evidence consistent amongst the murders, and she doesn’t yet know how that is possible. The location of decades-old evidence is being shared with her, something only the killer would know. She is surprised at what she learns. She reaches out to Dr. Jules Harvey, a prominent, outspoken psychiatrist educated at Harvard, now more than 80 years old.

In 1968, Dr. Harvey left the closed-minded boys club of Harvard and took a role at Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane. When she arrived, she found the place clean and full of patients, but empty of anyone who cared. It was emotionally sterile. Most patients were drugged and isolated. She stopped the drugs, asked questions, and listened to their stories. She recorded the stories of the many personalities she uncovered. All of them have been murdered and are still missing.

Joyce discovers what she can't believe to be true: The victims have the evidence to find the real killers.
