Twisty, twisted and teeming with psychological suspense and sexual obsession, it’s no wonder that this cuttingly engrossing novel is also enjoying success as a major TV production starring Hugh Laurie, now into its second season.
Neuropsychiatrist Eldon Chance is in the process of splitting from his wife when he becomes entangled with one of his patients, insatiable, instable Jackie Black who suffers from an identity disorder. While it’s set in the author’s native California, this novel is certainly no barrel of good vibrations.
With Jackie’s violent homicide detective ex-husband on his tail, Chance seems fated for the proverbial plunge that follows pride, and then there’s his relationship with a self-professed Samurai who goes by the name of “D” - is D really the military vet he claims to be, or has he fashioned this false, alternate persona?
Complex, compelling and continually surprising, this gritty fix of San Franciscan noir is a bold and fiercely gripping read. Joanne Owen
Chance is a dark story about psychiatric mystery, sexual obsession, fractured identities, and terrifyingly realistic violence; a tale told amid the back streets of California’s Bay Area, far from the cleansing breezes of the ocean.
