A missing psychologist is the bait that pulls retired CIA investigator Dennis Cunningham out of retirement in Australia. With his Australian policewoman girlfriend, he finds there's nothing more treacherous than a twisted mind. But this isn't just any case of missing a person - the missing psychologist is someone Dennis knows all too well. Dennis sought therapy from this same psychologist after his wife's sudden death years earlier. Now, as he delves into the investigation, Dennis begins to suspect foul play and wonders if someone wants to expose the dark secrets of the psychologist's CIA patients. With the help of his Australian cop girlfriend, Judy White, Dennis uncovers a twisted and dangerous web of lies. But the mystery leads them back to Washington, D.C., where they find themselves in more danger than they ever could have imagined. If you're a fan of gripping psychological thrillers with strong characters and a suspenseful plot, you won't want to miss this book.
