About this title

Review:

On his way to jail to certify the sanity of a homeless man accused of murder, Dr. Frank Klevenger listens to a B-52's CD and snorts cocaine as he drives from the handsome seaside town of Marblehead to the urban decay of Lynn, Massachusetts. So much for mental health. But Keith R. Ablow, a practicing psychiatrist himself, quickly shows us why Dr. Klevenger is so good at his job: his own personal demons give him an unusual understanding of troubled minds, which lifts this debut thriller to an insightful and exciting level.

From the Publisher:

"This is a deliciously creepy psychological thriller that could only have been written by a psychiatrist or a psychiatric patient. Keith Ablow is a very fine writer. Denial is a stark and terrifying journey into the mind of the criminally insane, an absolutely spellbinding and shocking tale."
-- Nelson DeMille, author of By The Rivers of Babylon

"Deftly, with driving prose, Ablow portrays the horror and bleakness of damaged lives. A dark and compelling debut."
-- Jonathan Kellerman, author of The Clinic
