The captives : a novel / by Immergut, Debra Jo,author.(CARDINAL)354537;
The riveting story of a woman convicted of a brutal crime, the prison psychologist who recognizes her as his high-school crush--and the charged reunion that sets off an astonishing chain of events with dangerous consequences for both -- As an inmate psychologist at a state prison, Frank Lundquist has had his fair share of surprises. But nothing could possibly prepare him for the day in which his high school object of desire, Miranda Greene, walks into his office for an appointment. Still reeling from the scandal that cost him his Manhattan private practice and landed him in his unglamorous job at Milford Basin Correctional Facility in the first place, Frank knows he has an ethical duty to reassign Miranda's case. But Miranda is just as beguiling as ever, and he's insatiably curious: how did a beautiful high school sprinter and the promising daughter of a congressman end up incarcerated for a shocking crime? Even more compelling: though Frank remembers every word Miranda ever spoke to him, she gives no indication of having any idea who he is. Inside the prison walls, Miranda is desperate and despairing, haunted by memories of a childhood tragedy, grappling with a family legacy of dodgy moral and political choices, and still trying to unwind the disastrous love that led to her downfall. And yet she is also grittily determined to retain some control over her fate. Frank quickly becomes a potent hope for her absolution--and maybe even her escape. Propulsive and psychologically astute, "The Captives" is an intimate and gripping meditation on freedom and risk, male and female power, and the urges toward both corruption and redemption that dwell in us all.

The binding song / by Harper, Elodie(CARDINAL)807092;
A chilling debut for fans of Mo Hayder and Sharon Bolton, The binding song takes you on a trip to Halvergate Prison. If you're lucky, you'll get to leave ... Dr Janet Palmer is the new lead psychologist at HMP Halvergate in a remote, bleak area of Norfolk. At first, she was excited by the promotion. Then she starts to see how many secrets are hiding behind the high walls. A string of inmates have committed suicide, leaving no reasons why, and her predecessor has disappeared - along with his notes. The staff are hostile, the threat of violence is ever-present, and there are rumours of an eyeless woman stalking the corridors, punishing the inmates for their sins. Janet is determined to find out what is really going on. But the longer she stays and the deeper she digs, the more uncertain she feels. Halvergate is haunted by something. But it may be a terror worse than ghosts.

Reclusa / by Immergut, Debra Jo,author.(CARDINAL)354537; Murillo Fort, Isabel,translator.(CARDINAL)592364;
"Miranda Greene planeaba morir en mayo de 1998 en el correccional de Milford Basin; New York. Le quedaban 52 años de cárcel por asesinato en segundo grado y sin libertad bajo fianza por un estúpido accidente que ni tan siquiera provocó. Pero le tocó un juez duro y era la hija de un excongresista. Tenía planeado ir a la consulta del psiquiatra y guardar pastillas durante semanas hasta tener la cantidad necesaria. Frank Lundquist es psiquiatra y ahora trabaja en la cárcel. Antes tenía una consulta privada en Manhattan que le iba muy bien y se había casado con la mujer que amaba; había aceptado que ella no quería tener hijos y todo cuanto ella deseara porque la amaba completamente. Lo ha perdido todo por un accidente terrible del que realmente no tenía culpa, aunque se siente culpable. Cuando Frank ve por primera vez a Miranda la reconoce enseguida. Ella, en cambio no. Miranda había ido a su instituto y él se había pasado años completamente enamorado de ella. Dentro de las paredes de la prisión, Miranda está desesperada, atormentada por los recuerdos de una tragedia de su infancia, enfrentada con un legado familiar de moral y decisiones políticas dudosas, e intentado aún liberarse del desastroso amor que le llevó a su caída. Y también está obcecadamente determinada a mantener cierto control sobre su destino. Frank empezará a convertirse en una poderosa esperanza de absolución y puede que de escape."--Publisher's description.

The interview room : a Paul Lucas novel, book 1/ by Anscombe, Roderick.(CARDINAL)381081;
Paul Lucas, a brilliant forensic psychiatrist struggling to move on after the death of his infant son, is treating venomous Craig Cavanaugh, the teenage scion of a wealthy family. Sent to the Sanders Institute for stalking Natalie Davis, a mousy teaching assistant at Harvard who rejected him repeatedly, Cavanaugh sets out to match wits with, and destroy, Lucas. Told in Lucas's voice, the novel is fueled by Cavanaugh's ego and deep-seated obsession, and by Lucas's quick-witted, lie-discerning one-upping of the clever adolescent. As Lucas struggles to stay in control, their grueling sessions devolve into chest-puffing wars of strategy, lies and threats. Cavanaugh stealthily invades Lucas's personal life, works alongside his distraught wife, Abby, at her social work agency, and then murders the police officer who pulled Abby out of the wreck that killed their childand frames Lucas for the crime. The possibly overmatched psychiatrist must clear his name, attempt to reunite with his estranged wife and generally stop Cavanaugh from throwing a lit match onto Lucas's well-lacquered existence. Anscombe, a forensic psychiatrist himself, delivers precise, perfectly calibrated thrills one after another in an implosive story that takes oedipal struggle to the breaking point.

I am watching / by Kavanagh, Emma,author.(CARDINAL)409864;
"From a distance, they seem to be sleeping. Three bodies, sitting propped up against the ancient stones of Hadrian's Wall. A closer look reveals the horror of their too-white faces, and the ring of vivid red bruises around each neck. The victims were found by schoolgirl Isla Bell, out on an early morning run along the historic site. That day changed the small, close-knit community of Briganton forever, and it also shaped the course of Isla's life. Twenty years later, she's a professor of criminal psychology at the University of Northumberland. She specializes in studying the brain function of psychopaths and serial killers, wrestling with the question that still haunts her: why? Why did Heath McGowan kill those people--and two more besides--before he was finally caught by Isla's police detective father? At last, Isla has a chance to get answers. Heath, previously unforthcoming about the murders, agrees to take part in her research. Isla's husband, Ramsay--the only one of Heath's victims to survive--cautions her against the meeting. But no matter how ready Isla feels to peer within a killer's mind, there is no way to prepare for the fresh horror about to engulf Briganton. Another body is found, displayed just as before ... and then another. Is this a copycat, someone inspired by or receiving help from the serial killer behind bars? Or could the truth be darker still?"--Publisher.
