Fiction book about a writer who has a assignment about science vs religion in an off-the-grid psych ward
It's been awhile so I might have some facts wrong. But what I can remember with out spoiling too much is that the protagonist is either a LA writer or producer who is down on his luck. A friend/company contacts him with a deal for him to go undercover to a psych ward where a high profile case of a mother who kills her newborns and other psycho criminals who have gone "missing" after their court verdicts to the prisons they were assigned.
Because the woman was the most recent that was what the company was after to see what is happening to these people. He gets a pass to go as a nosey tourist type. It's in the middle of nowhere and it starts off as he stays at a hotel and calls his fiancée and sends fax. He uses an audio recorder to tape what he hears and plays it back as proof to his fiancée.
As the story gets deeper he starts to not be allowed to travel to town so he is offered to stay in a shack on the facility's grounds as long as he doesn't leave until he's ready to never come back there.

Hi, welcome to SF&F. So far this doesn't sound like a science fiction or fantasy story. Can you add any details that make it fit this group?

You shouldn't leave out any details that you remember since it could help people find the story for you. If there's anything that's a spoiler you can include it in a spoiler by putting>!at the beginning of the line.
