Description

With one patient's question, a therapist's life careens off the rails

Manhattan psychiatrist Bill Madrian takes pride in the level of trust he establishes with his patients. For a patient to open up, they must truly believe that everything said in a therapy session remains confidential. But Bill has never realized the complications this confidentiality could present-until he treats Alex Bronzi.

One day, in a session with Alex, the young man asks, "Hey Doc, ya wanna know who clipped Boris Levenko" Bill can hardly believe his ears. Boris Levenko was a major crime boss who had been executed a few days prior. The question, so loaded with portent, gives Bill information he desperately did not want to hear.

With this knowledge, Bill's life is upended, and he begins a fight for survival that takes him and his loved ones on a nightmarish journey far beyond the realm of anything he could have ever imagined. Bill has to untangle himself from a web of deceit and corruption or risk losing his career, his family, and his life.

Perfect for fans of Joseph Finder and Dennis Lehane
