Howard, who murdered his mother-in-law plus three others, pled guilty by reason of insanity and was placed in a mental hospital. As the novel begins he is suspected of feigning insanity, and is being visited by his former wife, Willa Mae and her husband William. While they listened to the psychiatrist, Dr. Sylvester Van Gorder as he explained the dire condition of Howard's insanity Howard smiles a sinister smile and winks at Willa Mae.Their reaction to the visit and smile gave Howard the incentive to escape the mental hospital, and attempt to go to Willa Mae, who he thinks will welcome him back into her life. He does escape, but his escape doesn't go smooth, and in trying to reach Willa Mae he murders seven additional people. His affluent and supportive parents are now both dead so he is completely on his own, and not used to not having everything handed to him he becomes desperate.After about six weeks of running, trying to get to Willa Mae, and survive he reaches the end of his rope when he runs out of money, is reduced to begging, and realizes he has been feigning insanity.
