This book is a great read from beginning to end. The entire book takes place over a couple days so its packed with dialgue and action. The characters are interesting and the plot is solid. I look forward to reading more from Michael Prescott!

DARK AND DEADLY
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Prescott is turning into the "Stephen King" of psychothrillers, and that's a compliment. IN DARK PLACES is a strange mixture of psychological terror, serial killer mania, and dirty cops! Robin Cameron, coming out of an abusive childhood, is a psychiatrist who wants to believe that any person can be "rehabilitated" and return to a useful role in society. This is severely challenged with two of her patients: a self-absorbed serial killer named Justin Gray, and a cop on the take, Alan Brand. Prescott pulls out the stops in giving us several suspects, and manages to pull off a couple major surprises.The book moves at a good pace, and there are several exciting scenes.Well worth the read!
One Hell of a Thrill Ride
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is arguably the greatest suspense novel of 2003. This novel is about a female shrink, Robin Cameron, who works with sociopaths, namely convicts and rogue cops, to rehabilitate them by controlling an area of their brain with a high tech medical device, that makes them prone to violence. Her daughter Megan ends up missing but Robin and the policeman who happens to supervise one of the her subjects, a cop involved in a fatal shooting, attempt to locate her. So many twists and turns are in this book that it becomes extremely hard to tell the good from the bad. Prescott tells a great story in this one and I would definitely recommend it. This book is set in Los Angeles so expect quite a bit of graphic violence and profanity.
Outstanding achievement
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A rip-roaring, bloody, disgusting, gritty, ludicrous-speed paced, darkly humorous, mind-f*ck of a ride through the minds of the most twisted and perverse people I have ever witnessed. No one is decent in this novel, no one can be trusted. Everyone has their own sick agenda and thier own traumatic past. This novel will knock you flat. This is not for the light of heart or people who are easily offended. this book will offend you no matter what. It may even cause you to have a convulsing of the stomach or a rapidly fast heart-beat.You care about these characters and you want them to be okay. you want so bad to trust them, but you know their nature and you find that it can never be possible. Everything that is said is a game or diversion that is ultimately leading to a larger scheme of things that will selfishly benefit themselves. I may be over-exaggerating, but I could feel the pain and the blood splatter that went on in this novel. Every emotion took a life of it's own as I hung on to every word. Read this book. you WILL NOT regret it.
