Dr. Judd Stevens is a psychoanalyst faced with the most critical case of his life. He needs to penetrate the mind of a murderer. If he does not, he will find himself arrested for murder. Or be murdered himself. Two people close to Dr. Stevens have already been killed. Is one of his patients responsible? Someone overwhelmed by problems? A neurotic driven by compulsion? A madman? Before the murderer strikes again, Stevens must strip away the mask of innocence the criminal wears, uncover his or her inner emotions, fears, and desires, and expose the naked face beneath. But who could it be?
Author
Sidney Sheldon (1917-2007) was an American writer who won awards in three careers—a Broadway playwright, a Hollywood TV and movie screenwriter, and a best-selling novelist. His TV works spanned a twenty-year period during which he created I Dream of Jeannie (1965-70), Hart to Hart (1979-84), and The Patty Duke Show (1963-66), but it was not until after he turned 50 and began writing best-selling novels such as Master of the Game (1982), The Other Side of Midnight (1973) and Rage of Angels (1980) that he became most famous.
