Summary
His victims are powerless. He is in control. This is his revenge - and he’s only just begun.
Three university scientists are found dead in a gruesome murder-suicide, and the only suspect in the case, Victor Lazar, is quickly captured. When the spate of violent suicides follows him to prison he is moved to solitary confinement, reserved for the highest-risk inmates. And then his assigned psychologist inexplicably takes his own life.
Alex Madison, a former forensic psychologist turned private therapist, is brought in to interview Victor. He suspects that Victor is controlling his victims, somehow coaxing them into a suggestive trance. It seems like science fiction, but as Alex digs deeper he uncovers a frightening reality of secret research and cruel experimentation - and the perpetrators are closer to home than he could ever have imagined.
Too late, Alex learns the true extent of what Victor is capable of - and who he’s after. With everything he holds dear at risk, can Alex take control of a dangerous mind - before it takes control of him?

“A brilliantly original idea, with a terrifying villain at its heart.” (Claire McGowan, author of What You Did and the Paula Maguire series)

Shallow characters, sparse research, plenty of clichés. This book is full of stereotypes and lacks depth. Dan Brown without the suspense. Good narration, though I wish the female characters didn’t all sound like bimbos - come to think of it, here that might be fitting.

Interesting story line but....
I thought the story line was a very interesting one, but unfortunately it wasn't a good read. It failed to command my attention and sent me off to sleep more than once.
The jewel in the copper crown was the narration, in my opinion it was excellent!

Story and Narration
A good plot, however did not reach potential in my view. Alex wasn't an absorbing character - Victor should have finished him off. Because I listen through ear pods, I would like narrators to speak quietly and distinctly, not to give a performance. I can imagine that, in front of a live audience, it would have been great. In places, the narration was loud and grating, in a tortuous foreign accent. Could not enjoy all of it and fast forwarded.
