Hired Gun: Uncovering Buried Secrets (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781038329455)

David Lipman's patients are dying, but it's going to take risking his license and reputation to stop a killer. How far is he prepared to go?

Psychologist David Lipman is still grieving a personal loss when he's blindsided by the mysterious death of a patient. He's just picking up the pieces of his life with a new romance and the slightly overbearing support of his adult daughters, when another young woman in his care dies violently as well. Despite having written a respected book on physician misconduct, David finds himself crossing the line of dual-relationships as he grapples with this tragedy, to the point that the gimlet-eyed detective on the case regards him as a suspect. Meanwhile, the real killer continues to stalk.

But when David is brought into a legal case as a "hired gun," an expert witness, he comes across evidence he's not legally entitled to see. Now he's in an ethical quandary: he can expose a killer, but it may cost him his career.

Hired Gun is a gripping psychological thriller with an original, imaginative plot; nuanced and engaging characters; and lovely, evocative, sensory prose. Better yet, it's all deeply grounded in rich, psychological insight from an eloquent author who knows his topic intimately.
