Dr. Eric Parrish is the Chief of the Psychiatric Unit at
Havemeyer General Hospital outside of Philadelphia.
Recently
separated from his wife Alice, he is doing his best as a
single Dad to his seven-year-old daughter Hannah. His work
seems to be going better than his home life, however. His
unit at the hospital has just been named number two in the
country and Eric has a devoted staff of doctors and nurses
who are as caring as Eric is. But when he takes on a new
patient, Eric's entire world begins to crumble.
Seventeen-year-old Max has a terminally ill grandmother
and
is having trouble handling it. That, plus his OCD and
violent thoughts about a girl he likes makes Eric a high
risk patient. Max can't turn off the mental rituals he
needs
to perform every fifteen minutes that keep him calm. With
the pressure mounting, Max just might reach the breaking
point. When the girl is found murdered, Max is nowhere to
be
found. Worried about Max, Eric goes looking for him and
puts
himself in danger of being seen as a "person of interest"
himself. Next, one of his own staff turns on him in a
trumped up charge of sexual harassment.
Is this chaos all
random? Or is someone systematically trying to destroy
Eric's life? New York Times best selling author Lisa
Scottoline's visceral thriller, Every Fifteen Minutes,
brings you into the grip of a true sociopath and shows you
how, in the quest to survive such ruthlessness, every
minute
counts.
