This is a very intense book with numerous twists and turns. The story is told by a narrator who is unidentified at first but later identified as a psychiatrist. There are several other characters who are relatively hard to keep track of. A young girl is brutally raped. The psychiatrist plays puppet master while the identity of the rapist is being sought. The story starts slowly but rapidly picks up pace. I had a hard time putting the book down. Thanks for the advanced copy.
