In the guise of a dynamic and troubled alter-ego named Rebecca Smyth, she makes an appointment with the notorious and roughly charismatic psychotherapist Collins Braithwaite, whom she believes is responsible for her sister's death. But in this world of beguilement and bamboozlement, neither she nor we can be certain of anything.Case Study is a novel as slippery as it is riveting, as playful as it is sinister, a meditation on truth, sanity, and the instability of identity by one of the most inventive novelists of our time.

Graeme Macrae Burnet’s propulsive, Booker-shortlisted contemporary classic – reissued to mark its tenth anniversary. The year is 1869. A brutal triple murder in a remote community in the Scottish Highlands leads to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae.

Was he mad? Only the persuasive powers of his advocate stand between Macrae and the gallows. Graeme Macrae Burnet tells an irresistible and original story about the provisional nature of truth, even when the facts seem clear. His Bloody Project is a mesmerising literary thriller set in an unforgiving landscape where the exercise of power is arbitrary.

Romaan algab noore naise märkmeraamatutest, mis kirjanikule väidetavalt saadeti ja kus naine jutustab kokkupuutest kurikuulsa psühhiaatriga, keda ta peab vastutavaks oma õe surma eest. Enne enesetappu oli õde käinud mehe vastuvõtul, ja sooviga välja selgitada, mis juhtus, hakkab naine sama psühhiaatri patsiendiks, kasutades väljamõeldud identiteeti. Veenev kattevari hakkab aga oma elu elama ja õige pea on üha raskem tegelikkust ja väljamõeldist eristada. Romaanis mängitakse eri vormidega, mis süvendavad tunnet, et kõiges peaks kahtlema - märkmeraamatuid raamistavad katkendid biograafiast, mille kirjanik psühhiaatrist "uurimistöö" tulemusel kirjutas. Teoses käsitletakse nõtkelt ja vaimukalt 1960. aastate ühiskondlike murrangute ja psühhiaatria kaudu selliseid teemasid nagu tõde, tegelikkus, identiteet, usaldusväärsus ja minapildi muutlik olemus. Väljamõeldised on põimunud kultuuriajalooga ja romaanis võib kohata päriselt elanud inimesi.Graeme Macrae Burnet on üks hinnatumaid briti romaanikirjanikke, keda näiteks ajalehes Sydney Morning Herald on nimetatud marruajavalt geniaalseks. Tema teosed on pälvinud ohtralt kiitust ja auhindu ning neid on tõlgitud enam kui 20 keelde (eesti keeles on varem ilmunud romaan "Tema verine sepitsus"). "Patsiendi lugu" oli Bookeri preemia kandidaatide seas ja seda on nimetatud teoseks, mis toob suurepäraselt esile Burneti mitmekülgse ande.
'It is dark now and my window onto the world is a small one. I do not know how much longer I will be here.' On 9 July 1857, Angus MacPhee, a labourer from Liniclate on the island of Benbecula, murdered his father, mother and aunt. At trial in Inverness he was found to be criminally insane and confined in the Criminal Lunatic Department of Perth Prison. Some years later, Angus’s older brother Malcolm recounts the events leading up to the murders while trying to keep a grip on his own sanity. Malcolm is living in isolation, ostracised by the community and haunted by this gruesome episode in his past. From Graeme Macrae Burnet, the Booker-shortlisted author of His Bloody Project, comes a beguiling psychological novel set on a remote Scottish island. Based on a true story and drawing on the documentary evidence of the time, Burnet constructs a gripping narrative about madness, murder and the uncertain nature of the self. 'Dark, intense and utterly compelling' – Laura Wilson, The Guardian
"A captivating psychological thriller" - The Herald. Manfred Baumann is a loner. Socially awkward and perpetually ill at ease, he spends his evenings quietly drinking and surreptitiously observing Adele Bedeau, the sullen but alluring waitress at a drab bistro in the unremarkable small French town of Saint-Louis. But one day, she simply vanishes into thin air. When Georges Gorski, a detective haunted by his failure to solve one of his first murder cases, is called in to investigate the girl's disappearance, Manfred's repressed world is shaken to its core and he is forced to confront the dark secrets of his past. 'The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau' is a literary mystery novel that is, at heart, an engrossing psychological portrayal of an outsider pushed to the limit by his own feverish imagination.
