Suspense | Thriller Psychological | Mystery Woman Sleuth
He delights in destroying lives; her mission is to save them. And one of them is bound to lose. This is the deadly game at the heart of The Session, the provocative new thriller by Judith Kelman, the award-winning author praised for her power βto hold you spellboundβ(Harlan Coben). P.J. Lafferty, a therapist assigned to the womenβs psych ward at New Yorkβs infamous Rikers Island prison, is passionate about her work. But when she bends the rules to help a troubled patient named Jeannie Bagshaw, sheβs blamed for the stabbing death that ensues and fired. Struggling to pick up the pieces, P.J. takes on private patients and starts working with a therapist of her own. But just as things seem to be looking up, P.J. happens upon disturbing new developments regarding the murder at the prison. They implicate the victimβs estranged and sadistic husband. They threaten the safety of her only child, and theyβve trapped an eyewitness in an inescapable nightmare. P.J. begins to suspect that sheβs become a pawn in a dangerous and elaborate cat-and-mouse game. But with whom? And why? As the razor-sharp pieces of this deadly puzzle fall into place, so do those of P.J.βs own troubling past. The harder these dark forces push against her, the more P.J. realizes that only she can stop a ruthless madman dead in his tracks. And her time is running out.
