Fitz is furious with his wife; annoyed by his dropout son; attracted to his soemtime partner at the copshop, Jane Penhaligon; and troubled by a new case: a missing youth has turned up dead. Fitz, a freelance police psychologist, is a genius at cross-questioning witnesses and suspects alike, looking into their very souls and learning truths that they never even knew about themselves.
