Psychologist Alan Gregory is living through a season of discontent. With
a new daughter, a wonderful wife, and a prospering career, he has little
to complain about and lots of regrets: past cases that won't let him go,
patients who don't get better, and a growing unease with keeping
secrets. But Gregory has two new patients who will drag him out of his
introspection--and dare him to enter a storm of injustice and revenge.
FBI special agent Kelda James is a hero, a woman who as a rookie agent
made a choice, drew her gun, and saved a life, taking another. Now Kelda
is hiding from the world a secret pain that is gradually crippling her
body--and she has turned to Alan Gregory to help her free from the
prison of her pain. Then Kelda refers a patient to Gregory, who is
terrifyingly dangerous to them both.
Tom Clone served thirteen years on Colorado's death row for a crime he
claimed he didn't commit--until an FBI agent dug up evidence that set
him free. The agent's name: Kelda Jones. With both Kelda and Clone
telling him their innermost secrets, Alan Gregory becomes the one person
who can piece together an extraordinary puzzle--of two unsolved violent
deaths of vulnerable women, of a man who may be innocent or may be very
lucky, and of the strange, fatal attraction between two people trapped
in a horrific plot to get revenge--at any price.
