Delusion: A Mystery Book

Forensic psychologist Peter Zak, hired to determine whether Nick Babikian's paranoia led him to stab his wife to death, is feeling a little paranoid himself. Despite the fact that the man who murdered his own wife is in prison, Peter has reason to believe that Ralston Bridges is behind the break-ins at his house, the tricks being played on his girlfriend, even the illegally installed surveillance system he discovers in his home. Is Babikian's paranoia catching, or is Bridges, a patient at the same mental hospital where Nick is being held, actually manipulating Peter with the help of an outside accomplice? And why is the detective assigned to the case so anxious to pin the murder on someone that he's ignoring important evidence from Nick's own in-house security system? Fans of Jonathan Kellerman and Stephen White, take note: here's a psychological thriller that's chilling enough to make you wonder who's watching you, too. --Jane AdamsRead More

  • Product Description

    From the acclaimed author of Amnesia and Addiction comes the story of a paranoid man accused of killing his wife-is he ill, or is he a great actor trying to get away with murder?

    Forensic neuropsychologist at Boston's prestigious Pearce Psychiatric Center and expert defense witness Peter Zak regularly testifies at murder trials on issues like a defendant's conception of right and wrong or the reliability of a witness's memory. This time a lawyer calls Peter to the scene of a crime-Nick Babikian has just found his wife brutally stabbed and floating in their backyard pool. The lawyer wants Peter to assess Nick's state of mind. A brilliant but paranoid man who's made millions inventing and marketing his own computer role-playing game, he was working in the house while his wife was stabbed, and he's certain to be accused of wielding the knife.

    Nick claims his innocence, but he has no proof, though certainly some of what he claims seems true. For example, there are signs his wife was having an affair. And oddly, the longer they work together, the more Peter relates to Nick's feelings. For Peter himself becomes more and more convinced that his own wife's killer, a man who's supposed to be serving life in prison, is somehow tormenting him at home and at work.

    It's up to Peter to separate fact from fiction in this chilling entry in a masterful series.
