Synopsis
The murder of the arrogant chairman of Behavioral Health Sciences shocks the faculty, staff and patients of Franklin University Medical Center, none more than the four unstable subjects in his pilot research study. All are members of a treatment program directed by psychologist April Simon, newly divorced and discouraged about her academic prospects. When the late psychiatrist's death propels her patients into bizarre and threatening behavior and pits her colleagues against each other, April faces three challenges: to solve the riddle of her patients' transformation, avoid becoming the killer's next target and decide whether to trust an attractive, world-weary detective who seeks her help - when he's not treating her as a suspect.
Shrink Rapt takes the reader into the halls of academic medicine, setting death, betrayal and romance against a real-life backdrop of the fraught alliance between medical research and Big Pharma. Psychologist author Freda Hansburg treats themes of abandonment, sexual trauma, abuse and addiction with a deft and sensitive hand. The rich cast of characters is replete with likely murder suspects, providing twists, suspense and a stunning climax.
