The Depths of Thought

Synopsis

What strange currents move in The Depths of Thought, asks novelist Allen C. Locklin. How can a person dream vividly of a padded cell that he has never seen - a dream where someone else has absorbed his entire identity?

What happens when a mental patient, Tom Currie, escapes to claim the wife and children and even the life that belongs to geologist Kevin Monahan?

Set in East Texas, in the oil industry, the story follows the lives of Kevin and his shadowy, catatonic double to a climax when Tom, partially cured, bursts in on Kevin's life, convinced that he is reclaiming his own, and, in a strange twist, the two share in a significant event in the oil business.

Filled with labyrinthine twists and turns, The Depths of Thought is an original and absorbing novel.
