I read this book at least two years ago, and now I can’t remember title or author.
There’s this guy, you see, and he fakes mental illness to escape punishment for things.
The one scene I recall is him in a utility closet of a highrise residential building (novel is set in NYC) – he was stalknig a female. Anyway, he was nude in the utility closet, with a razor, and when the police found him, he held the knife to his testicles and screamed that he was going to cut them off. He wound up (back?) in the mental ward.
I know that’s not much to go on, but I’m sure someone here has read this book.
Haven’t you?
