Freud's Revenge

Two knife wounds--one to the groin, one to the hand impaling him to the desk--suggested somebody definitely wanted the guy dead. In this Amanda Carlisle Mystery set in posh Del Mar, California, empath Amanda Carlisle and detective Nick Caswell find themselves in a race with a nearly invisible psychopath. When Amanda mind-walks the killer, she discovers a complex Freudian psychosis that may be the key to the crime. Unbeknownst to her, that psychotic mind has decided Amanda will be next. It will take Nick's hardboiled sleuthing and Amanda's deciphering the victim's cryptic clues to catch the killer in gorgeous surf-meets-turf Del Mar--where the ponies race and a psychopath is on the run.Reviews: "The most frightening monsters are those who don't seem like monsters at all.
