Rage Therapy

'A taut psychological thriller that will pull you into a world of sexual deviancy, murder, and mind games. A very good read.' -Nelson DeMille, New York Times-bestselling authorDr. Stanley Kolberg was not just murdered. His lifeless body was battered and broken almost beyond recognition, as though his unknown killer had been driven by a ferocious rage that had exploded madly out of control.As far as the Seattle police are concerned, there is no shortage of suspects. A distinguished psychiatrist, Kolberg specialized in anger management and often treated violent offenders with severe psychiatric disorders. His client list is a virtual lineup of sociopaths, psychotics, and convicted murderers, any one of whom might have unleashed their homicidal fury on the doctor.For Dr. Joel Ashman, who consults as a profiler for Seattle Homicide, the shocking crime strikes particularly close to home. Not only was the victim a fellow psychiatrist, but Kolberg was also his former partner and mentor-he was practically a second father to Joel, who soon finds himself the target of a faceless stalker as well.Who killed Stanley Kolberg and why? The answers lie hidden in a lurid underworld of depraved sex and violence-and in the tortured past of one disturbed young woman.'An engrossing exploration of a savage crime and a powerful study of obsession, violence, and guilt. Dan Kalla's expert storytelling propels us through a maze of mirrors to a shattering conclusion.' -Michael Prescott, New York Times-bestselling author of Dangerous Games
