Synopsis

A San Francisco detective becomes entangled with a private intelligence agency as he investigates what appears to be a traceless form of murderA couple meets in a seedy hotel room for an illicit affair, the rules of which are simple: no names, no personal details, the specifics of their lives off-limits. It's all very exciting to Lore Cha—the wife of a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur—who thinks their forbidden meetings and taboo sexual encounters are exactly the escape she's been looking for: every single detail is as she imagined. But that's the problem. Phillip Krey anticipates every thought before she has it. He plays out her untold fantasies down to the last detail. His insights are beyond intuitive; they're invasive, even frightening. It's as if he has access into her mind. Across town, Elise Currin, wife to one of San Francisco's most powerful businessmen, is also seeing Krey, and is slowly being driven insane by his ability to tap in to her most private desires. When it's revealed that these women are also seeing the same therapist, a chilling scenario unfolds, and the quiet, plotting detective Marten Fane is called in. Slowly Fane uncovers a plot that goes beyond Krey to reveal a powerful private sector, secret government involvement, and one of the most elaborate and monstrous psychological experiments imaginable: a traceless form of murder." ... Harper succeeds in sympathetically portraying Elise and Lore as they face genuine danger. " - Publishers Weekly

Goodreads review by Kay

David Lindsay is now writing under the alias Paul Harper. It took some detective work on my part to find him [duh just go to his website--so you can see why I'm not in the detecting business!]. I was happy he finally wrote another book. And this one was good- not exactly like his past stuff [which w......more

Goodreads review by Diego

Sabe quando uma história é boa? Quando você começa a xingar os personagens. E com esse livro, eu, dentro do ônibus, xinguei o vilão desse livro. A história em volta dos personagens é interessante, mas eu estava mais preocupado com o que iria acontecer com os personagens do que onde a história estava......more
