Overview
SUICIDE, ACCIDENT, OR MURDER? George, a renowned psychiatrist, is treating a cabinet minister for autoerotic asphyxia, a dangerous sexual deviation. The minister is found dead, attached to his apparatus. George and Julia, a patient who is blackmailing him, become suspects. HIGH TREASON In trying to protect George, the minister gives him a copy of data which, in an act of high treason, he has sent to Iran. This allows the rapid development of a nuclear bomb. But George becomes the target of MI5, MI6, and arms dealers, who believe he has a copy of the data, and will go to any lengths to get it. SHARED ORDEALS With the help of three ex-patients, including Julia, George tries to stop the data, now his life insurance, falling into the wrong hands. Does facing many challenges and ordeals together create psychological benefits? Has George invented Ordeal Therapy?

Reviews
The unwitting hero is a psychiatrist whose client, a senior British cabinet minister, entrusts him with evidence of a secret plot to sell information to another country. What's really intriguing about this book is that it opens with a textbook psychiatric consultation and as the novel progresses, the main plot, which covers almost every international spy agency, is complemented by insight into the therapeutic process, ethics and the intricacies of auto asphyxiation. Oh, and there is a credible love interest and plenty of humour. This is a pacy spy thriller with interesting twists. Well worth a read. -Ruth
