Synopsis
A madman pushes into psychologist Alan Gregory's office, his pistol against a young woman's head. He demands his wife, Claire. She's in the next office, in session with Gregory's partner, Diane Estevez. The cops save Diane, but not Claire or the hostage.
Claire was to testify before a grand jury. Curiously, another witness in the same case dies, also in front of Gregory. Sam Purdy, a detective with the Boulder police, figures Gregory may be able to help with the case.
But Gregory himself needs help. With his own life at risk, he and Diane ransack their files for clues. In this race for truth, life itself is the prize!
Reviews
Maybe it was the narrator - I prefer women to sound like females - not mincy versions of a female impersonator, but more likely it was the lack of plot progression. I just could not get into this book. The protagonist can't seem to decide if he is a psychologist or a detective - and doesn't seem very good in either role. The women are alternatively demanding and whiney - even though they are portrayed as having high responsibility jobs. After two CD's I couldn't take anymore.
