Mirror Image
Autor Dennis Palumboen Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2010
MIRROR IMAGE, a complex, erotic novel of suspense, is the first in a series of mysteries featuring Dr. Daniel Rinaldi, a psychologist who consults with the Pittsburgh Police. His specialty is treating victims of violent crime—those who’ve survived an armed robbery or kidnapping, but whose traumatic experience still haunts them.
Kevin Merrick, a college student and victim of an armed assault, is one of these people.
A fragile, troubled kid desperate for a role model, a sense of identity, Kevin has begun dressing like Rinaldi, acting like him, mirroring his appearance. Before Daniel has a chance to work this through with his patient, he finds Kevin brutally murdered. Stunned, he and the police suspect that he, not Kevin, had been the intended target.
Feeling responsible, Rinaldi is determined to help find the killer, who’s begun leaving death threats for the psychologist. His journey takes him through a labyrinth of friends and colleagues, any one of whom may be the killer. It also includes an affair with a beautiful, free-spirited Assistant DA with secrets of her own. And when Kevin’s identity as the estranged son of a Bill Gates-like biotech giant is revealed, the investigation of his murder turns into a national story…even as another person turns up dead.
A page-turning novel of suspense, MIRROR IMAGE weaves together a puzzling mystery, full of unexpected twists, with an intense, erotic love story.

Recenzii
¬Dennis Palumbo establishes himself as a master storyteller with his first crime novel, Mirror Image. Using his background as a licensed psychotherapist to good advantage, Palumbo infuses his fast-moving, suspenseful story with fascinating texture, interesting characters, and the twists, turns, and surprises of a mind-bending mystery. Very impressive.‾ ηStephen J. Cannell, writer/creator of The Rockford Files; New York Times best-selling mystery author
¬Mirror Image is a deviously plotted thriller with lots of shocks and surprises you wonΣt see coming, and a smart, sympathetic hero-narrator who takes you along as he peels back layers of lies and wrong guesses to get closer to the truth.‾ ηThomas Perry, Edgar-winning, New York Times best-selling author
¬Dennis PalumboΣs experience as a psychotherapist hasnΣt just helped him make his hero, therapist Dr. Daniel Rinaldi, authentic, human and a man in full, itΣs endowed him with the insight to craft a debut thriller filled with action, deduction and romance, expertly paced for maximum mind-bending suspense.‾
ηDick Lochte, award-winning author and critic
¬Dennis PalumboΣs novel is stark and disturbing but thereΣs a humanity running through the core of it that makes this book special. Maybe itΣs PalumboΣs dual trainingηas a writer and as a psychotherapistηthat allows him to plumb the depths and bring up not only darkness but those occasional diamonds of light that sparkle and illuminate and make a book worth reading.‾ ηT. Jefferson Parker, Edgar-winning, New York Times bestselling author
¬Mirror Image is a standout mind-bender! A wonderfully constructed novel that has you seeing doubleηand all through the eyes of an intriguingly fresh character: a psychologist. Dennis Palumbo knows his craft. This guy can write.‾ ηRidley Pearson, New York Times best-selling crime author
¬Mirror Image is a rich, complex thriller, built around a sizzling love affair. A compelling read with surprising twists and characters that leap off the page.‾
ηBobby Moresco, Oscar-winning writer/producer of Crash and Million Dollar Baby
¬A gripping thriller, chock full of the desired twists and cliffhangers, with the added layer and intriguing access of a therapist narrator/detective. A page-turner!‾
