Rating: Summary: DARK AND DEADLY Review: 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!
Rating: Summary: A Thrilling Read Review: 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!

Rating: Summary: One Hell of a Thrill Ride Review: 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.
