Acclaimed author Michael Robotham conquered international bestseller lists with this electrifying thriller that Kirkus Reviews hails as “masterful” and Publishers Weekly says puts
“a fresh spin” on the time-tested tale of the wrongly accused man.
After a woman is brutally slain, investigators bring psychiatrist Joe O’Loughlin in for expert consultation. Joe is shocked to discover the dead woman is a former patient of his who cried rape when
he rebuffed her sexual advances. Citing doctor/patient confidentiality, Joe hides this information. But the truth emerges, and suddenly he is the prime suspect, even as he comes to a shocking
conclusion—the profile of the murderer closely matches another of his patients.
Suspect gains momentum with every word, leaving listeners breathless as it hurtles along toward a startling conclusion.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“[A] pleasantly creepy story, which is plotted with precision and narrated with real intelligence by the doctor, whose decision to keep mum on a serious medical condition of his own makes him look suspicious –and leaves him vulnerable when the real murderer shows up.”
—New York Times
“The plot is not a new one—respectable citizen wrongly accused—but Michael Robotham handles it with unusual skill as he has us suspecting one person and then another.”
—Washington Post
“Nail-biting tension full of fine characterization, brilliantly researched detail, and subtle humor.”
—Daily Mirror (London)
“A clever plot…an absorbing read…a welcome new name in the genre.”
—Telegraph (London)
