Joe O'Loughlin is learning to live a new life in the country. He and his family have moved out of London and he has stopped practising as a psychologist, largely because of his Parkinson's disease. He is teaching at a local university when the police arrive and ask for the help of a psychologist to talk to a woman (Christine) who is about to jump off a bridge. Unfortunately, she does jump and Joe feels terribly useless. A few days later, Christine's daughter turns up at Joe's house, having run away from school, to tell Joe that there is no way her mother could have suicided. Against his wife Julianne's better judgment, Joe calls his old friend (and retired police detective) Vincent Ruiz and the two begin to investigate. Joe realises they are dealing with someone who seems to be able to get inside the minds of his victims. Really good page turning psychological thriller.
