"The Edges of Madness" is a sequel to the novel "Unreliable Witness." Grigory Makarov, a former patient of a psychiatric hospital, once again finds himself at the epicenter of events. New characters, new mysteries, and even more madness await you, where the line between reality and nightmare is intertwined like a thin web on glass.
After two years in a closed psychiatric ward, Sofia Novikova, at the insistence of her caring husband, returns home. But is it really Sofia who has returned? The girl is certain: she is not who they think she is, and her body is not her own.
Everything here is questionable: the luxurious house, the polite husband, even her reflection in the mirror. And when the boundaries between reality and hallucination begin to blur, someone who once also encountered the otherworldly appears nearby.
Can a former patient who sees ghosts help a woman everyone considers insane?
And, most importantly, who is she really: a victim, a witness... or a participant in events more terrifying than any disease?
Maria Skripova is the author of psychological thrillers and detective stories, a medical university graduate with additional training in psychotherapy. Her debut book, "Unreliable Witness," won the 2025 Russian Detective Award in two categories: "Readers' Choice. LiveLib" and "Detective Thriller," and also took second place in the "Crime and Punishment: Detective of the Year" and "Author of the Year" categories.
