Review:
'Dr Portia McTeague is the latest embattled female professional to rival Patrici Cornwell's popular Dr Scarpetta. Yet McTeague is the first really intelligent and liberal heroine of these crime and courtroom dramas.' New Woman -- New Woman
From the Back Cover:
When a well-known psychic healer in Charlotte, North Carolina, is found stabbed to death and mutilated in her expensive uptown office, the whole city is obessed with talk of the grisly details – all except forensic psychologist Portia McTeague, on leave from criminal work and trying to concentrate on her private practice and volunteer counselling at the Help Line.
But as the full-scale investigation team, at a loss for leads after two more killings, makes a public appeal for help, McTeague steps forward. Then ‘Ivan’ calls the Help Line and Portia can sense that not only is he the killer – but she will be his next target.
