"Saralee Perel has crafted a funny, scary, profound thriller that was impossible to put down." Michael Palmer MD, New York Times best selling author of "A Heartbeat Away" Cape Cod's prominent psychiatrist, Dr. Sophie Green, has her own problems. She's a comically phobic worrier, and a binge eater who quells her conflicts with leftovers. Her husband, Dan, is her polar opposite. He is of sound mind and svelte body. For once, Dr. Green has an unimagined terror: One of her patients wants her dead. There's Elizabeth, who has an emotionally and physically abusive husband. He blames Sophie for Elizabeth's newly found ability to stop tolerating abuse. Another patient is Gracie. She's involved with a menacingly brilliant married psychiatrist. Sophie is the only one who knows he's a closet psychopath. There's Charlie, a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder who falls in love, he believes, with Sophie. This is not your classic whodunit.
