Show Details

Police officer Ellery is on leave after she killed a murderer and is forced into group therapy. She barely escaped a serial killer when she was 14. She uses her time to solve two past crimes: an arson committed years ago where the suspect remains in prison, but Ellery has doubts about his guilt, and the rape of a woman by someone who climbed into a second story window and held a knife to her throat. The author has a PhD in neuroscience; her book is full of psychological profile.
