From the New York Times bestselling author of Keep Quiet, a novel of suspense and emotional justice.

Dr. Eric Parrish is the Chief of the Psychiatric Unit at Havemeyer General Hospital outside of Philadelphia. Recently separated from his wife, he is doing his best as a single Dad to his seven-year-old daughter Hannah. His work seems to be going better than his home life, however: his unit at the hospital has just been named number two in the country. But when he takes on a new patient, Eric's entire world begins to crumble.

Seventeen-year-old Max has a terminally ill grandmother and is having trouble handling it. That, plus his OCD and violent thoughts about a girl he likes makes Max a high risk patient. Max can't turn off the mental rituals he needs to perform every fifteen minutes that keep him calm. When the girl is found murdered, Max is nowhere to be found. Worried, Eric puts himself in danger of being seen as a person of interest, and one of his own staff turns on him in a trumped up charge of sexual harassment. Is someone systematically trying to destroy Eric's life? In the quest to survive such ruthlessness, every minute counts.
