The Making Of A Madman

I deserve to die. I beg to be put to death, Murray Broudy shouts over the man assigned to defend him. It was at his insistence that he is being tried, for crimes he knows he didn’t commit. By the completion of the proceedings, the extravaganza will turn out to be the trial of a nation. In the meantime, the young man suffering from a deeply entrenched depression wallows away in a psych hospital. Before meeting up with an old acquaintance, Nick Ferris, son of one of the wealthiest families in the country, he was a normal college kid. But then…between a mother labeled a nymph by her son, and a son perceived as a potential suicide by his mother, he found himself ensnared in a drama he was unprepared to manage. It’s hard to blame Murray for feeling the way he does. The poor guy rode shotgun through a trauma that few could imagine experiencing, and none would choose to witness.
