A heart-pounding glimpse into the world of forensic psychiatry, Kill Switch marks the powerful fiction debut of Neal Baer and Jonathan Greene-former executive producers of television"s acclaimed Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Filled with breakneck suspense, vivid characters, and riveting detail, it is a mindbending thriller you"ll never forget... Meet Claire Waters, a young, dedicated forensic psychiatrist with unnervingly personal insights into the criminal mind. Haunted by a disturbing childhood incident-and driven by her demons-Claire has always been drawn to those rare "untreatable" patients who seem to have no conscience or fear. She has a natural ability to put people at ease, to help them face their darkest secrets. But one shocking case could make or break her career-and it"s waiting for her in the psychiatric wing of New York City"s Rikers Island. His name is Quimby. A deranged inmate whose boyish good looks hide a sordid history of dysfunction and abuse, Quimby triggers something in Claire she"d rather not face. As she tries to unlock Quimby"s past, she unwittingly reveals her own painful secrets-leaving herself dangerously vulnerable. For Claire, the patient"s obsessions are just the beginning. When the case propels her into the mind of another killer-a homicidal maniac who"s watching her every move-it could only end in madness, or murder, or both... Brilliantly constructed and breathtakingly suspenseful, Kill Switch is a masterful combination of murder, mystery, and modern forensics that will keep you turning the pages to the final shocking conclusion.
