Dr. Vera List, a prominent psychoanalyst in affluent Pacific Heights, San Francisco, has discovered something unsettling about two of her clients. Elise and Lore, wealthy trophy wives, are unwittingly having affairs with the same man, Ryan Kroll. Kroll has the uncanny ability to see inside their heads and anticipate their darkest fantasies and fears. The only conclusion Vera can come to is that he is breaking into her office, reading her patients' personal files, then using their psychosis against them. Torn between her concern for Elise and Lore and her profession's rules of patient confidentiality, Vera hires someone who works under the radar-Marten Fane, a former Special Investigations Division detective. -VERDICT This series debut by a pseudonymous New York Times best-selling author offers a great premise and fast-paced read. Thriller fans will eagerly anticipate the next installment. [Tour; library marketing; see Prepub Alert, 1/10/11.]-Jennifer Funk, McKendree Univ. Lib., Lebanon, IL (c) Copyright 2011.
