Acquired Motives

When we first met Dr. Strange in Sarah Lovett's previous novel, Dangerous Attachments, she had become the object of an obsessive prisoner in the state penitentiary where she assessed the inmates. Just as Dr. Strange used her remarkable psychological insights into the violent criminal mind to crack that case, she must now draw upon all her experience to discover why she has become the target of a sadistic madman. Is it because she's abetted one molester's release by testifying to his mental instability? Or did her troubled romance with New Mexico State Police detective Matt England perhaps inspire one of his enemies to seek revenge? Or could it simply be that Sylvia's under too much stress and is beginning to imagine frightening goings-on around her?
