In Dark Places
by Michael PrescottPsychiatrist Robin Cameron seems on the verge of success with an experimental program that uses a magnetic helmet to trigger, then modify, old angers that cause criminal behavior. She has been working with a promising candidate for behavior modification, an atypical serial killer named Justin Gray. His murders of high school girls involved mixed motivation--he didn't torture them or sexually molest them, and he has to drink to deal with death. Another very reluctant subject of her experimental treatment is LAPD Sergeant Alan Brand, who unwittingly admits to a cold-blooded killing while under Robin's care. When Gray escapes and Robin's teenage daughter, Megan, is kidnapped, Robin does not know whom to accuse--or whether there is something even darker, nastier, and more complicated afoot. The story takes place over a period of only two days, and the suspense does not let up until the last page.

Murdered by an unspeakable method that, to the trained eyes of the Santa Barbara police, has "psychopath"-and maybe even "serial killer' written all over it. That makes it a case for Detective Sergeant Eustes Tully, a beleaguered, middle-aged cop with an almost scary sixth sense for cracking homicides. Tully looks at a crime scene as a fortune teller looks at tea leaves-and what he sees on Laredo Beach scares the hell out of him. When the killer strikes again, duplicating the first murder in every hideous detail, Tully thinks he's onto something. And when he's suddenly hustled off the investigation, he knows it. The eerie clues point backward in time, to a more innocent era-but one that has given birth to a vengeful maniac with a terrifying story to tell, over and over, written in blood. On or off the case, it's a story Tully intends to finish as swiftly as possible. He's in too deep to do anything else. ...
