Interview into Insanity

Interview Into Insanity is a psychological crime thriller centered around Kaitlyn Ivory, a senior journalist-reporter investigating Roger Hawkins, a convicted murderer confined inside Rykers Asylum. What begins as a professional interview slowly transforms into a psychologically intimate and emotionally dangerous relationship as Kaitlyn becomes drawn into Roger's fractured memories, unstable mental state, and the mysterious deaths tied to his past.

The story blends:
• investigative journalism,
• psychological manipulation,
• crime mystery,
• emotional trauma,
• and morally complicated relationships.

At the core of the novel is the shifting dynamic between Kaitlyn and Roger. Their interviews move between hostility, vulnerability, manipulation, comfort, and obsession, blurring the line between interviewer and patient, therapist and subject, predator and protector.

Outside the asylum, Kaitlyn navigates a web of relationships that become increasingly tied to the case:
• Jasmine, a nurturing maternal figure and hidden family connection,
• Justin, an emotionally invested HR representative whose attachment to Kaitlyn grows unstable,
• and Claire, a commanding supervisor whose quiet influence shapes the investigation from the shadows.

As multiple deaths connect back to Roger and the people around Kaitlyn, the novel slowly reveals that the mystery is not simply about who committed the crimes, but why every victim is emotionally and psychologically connected. The deeper Kaitlyn goes into Roger's mind, the more her own emotional detachment, identity, and perception of reality begin to shift.
