In this debut novel, set in 2032, Mark Chadwick is a brilliant psychiatrist who is on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough. By combining functional imaging of the brain with computer technology, he can not only predict intentions but also decode human thought processes. His discovery attracts the attention of Robert Dufresne, a senior officer in Home Security who is determined to use this novel technique in the fight against the enemies of the Surveillance State. Tragedies of Mark's past cast shadows over his present conundrum, and the changing relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues come sharply into focus. This is a story of loyalty and betrayal, guilt and forgiveness, blackmail and courage-and the impossibility of reaching an unequivocal moral judgment against the shifting values of modern society.
