Regression

In the second adventure of the series, Sharon Hayes is now a private detective. She has quit the NYPD after her first - and last - homicide case. While waiting for her first paying client, Sharon researches a series of fatal accidents which have occured in her local tri-county area in the last few months. Her "hunch-o-meter" is pinging, a good indication that she is on to something. Her overwhelming sense of curiosity prods her into following up on the last of these accidents. Despite her better judgment, and the advice of the voice she carries in her head, Sharon visits the victim's bereaved husband, bearing nothing but a hunch and a store-bought bundt cake. Her rudeness and her curiosity pay off, however, when the husband reveals a link between his recently deceased wife and another of the victims that Sharon has identified. This is all Sharon needs to kick off a full-scale investigation, with herself as client. Sharon is also pursuing the regression therapy she started in the first book of her series. When her psychiatrist, Dr. Ronald Black, gets entangled with the accident victims, Sharon has to enlist the help of her best friends, Mary Griffith and Gayle George, in going undercover to further investigate him. Dr. Black leads a twice-weekly Assertiveness Support Group in a local church. Both of the last two accident victims attended his sessions As Sharon digs deeper and deeper into the relationship between her psychiatrist and a growing list of accident victims, she has to draw on the assistance of her former homicide squad members, her attorneys, her Forensics Lab heart throb, and her voice. The voice in her head. The sarcastic, sardonic, hyper critical British woman who resides in her brain. Join Sharon and her diverse team of professionals, real and "unreal," as she uncovers a diabolical plot to abduct, molest, and murder women - while making the murders look like simple but fatal accidents. Spoiler alert: she has a family reunion of sorts in this adventure, too Her birth father, DeWayne Doyle returns at his craziest, and gets involved up to his eyebrows in the sinister doings. The year is 2057. Guns and bullets are illegal. So is Crisco. People are all thin and healthy because of the required daily regimen of pills they are mandated to take. Cars are almost all electric. And Sharon continues to scald the roof of her mouth with hot coffee she gulps from Kal Koins. While following her detective story, also enjoy a look at her world, a future not that far from our own present.
