The Mind Master

Lee Bentley survived something no man should endure: having his brain swapped with an ape in the depths of Africa by the mad scientist Caleb Barter. Now he and his fiancée Ellen Estabrook have returned to New York City, desperate to forget the nightmare and rebuild their lives. But the past refuses to stay buried. Barter has resurfaced, calling himself the Mind Master, and the city is about to learn what happens when a genius with no conscience decides to hold an entire metropolis hostage with threats too horrifying to ignore. When a man is found mutilated mere hours after reading about the Mind Master's dark intentions, Bentley knows the terror has only just begun. He alone understands the depth of Barter's madness, the terrible experiments that rewired his own mind, the ape's instincts still lurking beneath his human thoughts. The Mind Master is playing a game where the stakes are human lives and human sanity, and Bentley must race against time to stop a monster who has already proven he can reach inside men's skulls and rearrange what makes them human.
