Suspense | Mystery
Successful psychologist Cal Henderson has a busy practice in Washington, DC, good friends, and big plans for the future. But he can’t escape a terrible secret. When he was a boy, his mother murdered his father and two brothers and severely wounded Cal’s best friend, Scottie Glass. Desperate to keep the nightmare at bay, Cal has turned his back on everything that happened that night. Then on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the traumatic event, Scottie shows up at Cal’s office—edgy, paranoid, but somehow still the loveable kid he once was. Though their lives have taken very different paths, they both believe Cal’s mother couldn’t have been a murderer. She loved them too much, no matter what dark place she found herself in. They set off to dig up the real story. In his search for answers he uncovers secrets about his mother’s life involving a defense contractor’s dark dealings, a nominee for U.S. Attorney with a questionable past, and a shady corporate billionaire whose sphere of influence seems to include everyone from the Pentagon on down. Meanwhile, as Cal gets closer to discovering the truth, recovered memories of his childhood push him into a psychological tailspin.

Re: The Survivors
There are a lot of career possibilities in Washington. Being a psychologist is a special one, with a special skill. I'm quite sure that the other career choices would be quite as interesting, but in Washington, when a person needs to talk to someone in confidentiality about a personal issue, this would be just the story to read about!! To have this said psychologist as a hero, I can see this happening, and think it would make an excing story to read!! Congratulations on your latest book, and I'm going to be looking forward to reading it! (Peggy Roberson 4:39am October 12, 2015)
No problem (Marissa Yip-Young 5:42am October 12, 2015)
It's unusual and that makes me like it. Why shouldn't somebody with more brain than brawn be the hero? (Dagmar Finch 6:02am October 12, 2015)
he won't be fooled easily (Debbi Shaw 8:07am October 12, 2015)
I would yes "yes". I am a psychiatric nurse and work in the field of psychiatry. I believe that everyone in this field changes lives. Not always for the better, but the majority of the time it is for the better. So, yes. It is easy for me to think of a Psychologist as a super hero. Thank you for this chance to read your book.

A psychologist would be an interesting hero. (Pam Howell 9:09am October 12, 2015)
He would be smart, astute and the best hero ever. (Sharon Berger 4:05pm October 12, 2015)
WOW ! Yes , he could be a hero in this story . This sounds like it will be a THRILLER for sure and an all night read . There's no telling what Cal and Scottie will dig up . This is certainly my kind of read . Thanks for this chance to win . (Joan Thrasher 12:11pm October 13, 2015)
Mind blowing since a psychologist would be looking at all the mental more closely than a hero in another field. (Lisa L. 3:46pm October 13, 2015)
Especially on TV, psychologists play supporting characters who offer a lot towards resolving the plot. I canèt see why they canèt play the main character. A psychologist would be as good a protagonist as a doctor. (Deb Philippon 10:17am October 14, 2015)
A psychologist could be an interesting main character. (Anna Speed 12:17pm October 15, 2015)
