About this listen
It's an ordinary day, a Wednesday in October, as a drama unfolds in one corner of the UCLA campus. A five-year-old boy is caught up in events swirling around his father, Simon Kyser, PhD. Bribery and corruption emerge, followed by attempted murder, mayhem, and kidnapping. It is a story of scientific espionage gone awry.
Grace Tooley, MD, finds young Simon drenched and alone in the middle of a downpour in a parking lot at UCLA. She, in concert with her colleague Wesley Brown, MD, head of the psychiatric institute, and Anton Kristov, PhD, head of the biotech department, work to unravel what fast becomes a web of deceit. The story is told in seven days.

Story4 out of 5 stars 180
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Captivating story that you can't stop listening to
Non-stop action with the Kaiser family drama and mystery intertwined with a budding romance between Grace Tooley and Wesley Brown kept me hooked till the very end! Austin did a great job of personifying the story's narrator Grace Tooley as well as voicing the supporting characters both heroic and unpleasant in their pursuit of the perpetually missing Simon. Looking forward to Given's other titles.
