Shrink Wrapped (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781508929505)

She spends her days teaching mindfulness techniques to hospital patients, helping them eliminate stress and pain from their lives. But for psychologist Dr. Lou Ann Dryden, a state of Zen is near impossible to find.

Between work politics, pesky bosses, and a complicated family life, Lou would love to turn inward to find a calm and happy place-but every day it seems like something or someone else is prepared to stand in her way.

Now, at her second job as a consultant to the local police department, it's an unsettling child abduction case that's harshing Lou's mellow. Her mission: to narrow down the suspect pool in the kidnapping of a nine-year-old girl, with the help of her quirky police chief cousin and a good-guy ex named Jeep.

When a series of interviews seem to be getting her nowhere at all, it only adds to Lou's frustration, as a child's life lies dangerously in the balance. But just when it looks like the creep might get away with it, Lou finds herself a target of the very bad guy she's after-and quickly promises he'll regret the day he ever underestimated her.
