"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 free her 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 James. 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.
