Self Defence

Alternate cover edition of ISBN 0316911623.

Dr. Alex Delaware doesn’t see many private patients anymore, but the young woman called Lucy Lowell is an exception. Referred to him by the police detective Milo Sturgis, Lucy had been a juror at the harrowing trial of a serial killer, and having survived that trauma is now tormented by a recurring nightmare: a young child in the forest at night, watching a strange and furtive act.

Now Lucy’s dream is starting to disrupt her waking life, and Alex believes the power of the dream and its grip on her emotions may be the repressed childhood memory of something very real.

Something like murder . . .
