Product Description
The psychiatrist's couch holds many secrets. Can it also hold the key to a series of brutal murders? The thrilling first novel from the internationally bestselling Master of Suspense.
Two murders, one victim murdered in the street in a gruesome but apparently arbitrary attack. The other brutally tortured and left to die in agony.
Now it's the turn of psychoanalyst Dr Judd Stevens…
In a chilling game of cat and mouse, Judd must become the hunter rather than the hunted if he wants to stay alive. Working with the mindset of a detective, he must analyse his patients, searching for a motive, clues, reasons. Could it be Teri Washburn, Hollywood starlet, thrown out of tinsel town in scandal and now addicted to sex? Could it be Harrison Burke, top business man and disturbed paranoiac? Or could it be Alexander Fallon, a crazed evangelist, convinced that God has chosen him to avenge all sin in the world?
In this deadly game, there can only be one winner…If Judd is to survive he must play the game to win.
This is Sidney Sheldon's first novel – a gripping, intense thriller that brought him fame as a bestselling novelist.

An easy holiday type read with suspects galore, keeping the reader guessing until the last chapter.
Judd Stevens is a psychoanalyst. The people he sees are very disturbed with the exception of one patient, Anne, who won't get to the bottom of her problems. In the opening of the book, one of his patients leaves his office wearing Judd's raincoat and gets stabbed in the back. Shortly after that, his secretary is murdered in his office after hours. The homicide detective assigned to the case believes that Judd is actually guilty of the murders and begins to try to slant the evidence against Judd.
Though this is dated and not one of Sheldon's best works, it is very suspenseful and held my attention to the bitter end. It was a satisfying read and, though not necessarily a keeper, it was worth the time. Sidney Sheldon's writing improved dramatically over the years after this book was first written - if you want to read one of his best, read Master of the Game.
