From the author of The Interview Room comes another Gripping psychological thriller (Kirkus Reviews) that will leave readers breathless.
A desperate attempt
One summer day, Boston forensic psychiatrist Paul Lucas gets a call from his social worker wife, Abby: A nine-year-old girl has gone misisng. Paul, an expert interrogator, is called in to help evaluate the testimony of the only witness: a homeless woman who happens to be a paranoid schizophrenic.
A race toward justice
Further interviews with other possible witnesses go nowhere, frustrating detectives and calling into doubt Paul s role in the case. Believing the girl is alive but soon to die, Paul is pushed to the brink of a professional abyss harangued by local media, distrusted by police, and pressured to save the day by Abby, whose stake in the search becomes deeply personal.
A JOURNEY INTO FEAR AND DARKNESS
With time running out, Paul has to make a choice: to uphold the central oath of his profession or to do whatever it takes to find the girl even if he must crack the mind of a vulnerable patient, and risk everything he has in the process.
Intense, bone-chilling Tucson Citizen
