Thanks to the generosity of Randy Singer, I have a bonus copy of his book, By Reason of Insanity to give away!
To enter, just leave a comment on this post by Feb. 10.
Description:
After a series of kidnappings and murders in Virginia Beach, newspaper reporter Catherine O'Rourke experiences disturbing dreams that detail each crime. In an effort to aid the investigation, she shares them with her confidential source--a detective working on the case. Catherine's intimate knowledge of the crimes immediately makes her a prime suspect. When scientific evidence corroborates her guilt, she's arrested and charged with murder. As she begins to doubt her own innocence, Catherine turns to Las Vegas lawyer Quinn Newberg, a high-priced specialist in the insanity defense. Quinn believes in justice, Vegas-style. But he doesn't believe in the supernatural, or that Catherine's dreams are anything other than the result of a fractured personality disorder. Who can understand the human mind? Quinn knows that insanity cases are unpredictable, but nothing had prepared him for this! To win, or even survive, Quinn will need more than his famed legal maneuvering and biting skepticism. On this case, he needs a miracle.
My Review (previously published):
I loved this book! I haven't had the opportunity to read much of Randy Singer's work yet, but I will have to read more now! I love the lawyer (Grisham-type) mysteries and this one definately kept me turning the pages late into the night last night!
Catherine really finds herself in a horrible place--being accused of being a murderer and a kidnapper. As the evidence mounts against her, she even begins to question her own sanity and scrambles for some kind fo defense. Enter Quinn.
Quinn is an insanity defense "expert" and his job to convince the jury that Catherine has multiple personalities and didn't know she committed the crimes. He isn't really convinced himself of this, but it's the only way he knows to keep her out of a life of jail. Meanwhile he has his hands full with his sister's case. His sister Annie is accused of killing an abusive husband. But even this case isn't straightforward by any stretch of the imagination.
Full of twists and turns and a surprising outcome, this is a must-read for suspense lovers!
