My name is Jack Steen. That name shouldn’t mean anything to you. Unless you’re about to die. And then I’m your bloody guardian angel. I work as a night nurse in the Asylum for the criminally insane.

My name is the only real name you’ll find in this book. I won’t tell you which hospital I work at. I won’t tell you the names of those dying. But I won’t lie to you. You’ll read exactly what I’m told.

If you’re smart, if you’re deranged enough to read between the lines, you’ll know who is telling the story.They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head.
Now, maybe they’re messing with yours too.

My name is Jack Steen and for those who arrive on my ‘death’ ward at the Asylum, I’m the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers and they know me as the Angel of Death.

When they come onto my floor, I offer a deal: tell me their story, the real story – the one they haven’t told anyone. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves…those are the stories I want.

If they give them to me, I’ll make their death…easier. They’re already dying, that’s why they’re now my patients. If they play nice, I can make their death less painful. But only if they play nice and tell me their confessions.

The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing me and messing with my head. It’s a chance I’m willing to take.

And now…they might just be playing with yours too.
