Fever Dream: A Daniel Rinaldi Mystery: Daniel Rinaldi (Hardcover)

Autor Dennis Palumbo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2011
There’s a sweltering heat wave outside. Nearly a year after Pittsburgh psychologist and trauma expert Daniel Rinaldi helped unravel a baffling murder, he finds himself drawn into another case.

When a daring bank robbery goes horribly wrong, resulting in the deaths of all the hostages except one, Rinaldi is called in to question Treva Williams, the traumatized young woman who survived. However, what seemed a simple robbery soon explodes into a series of events that plunge the investigating officers, Sgt. Harry Polk and Det. Eleanor Lowrey—as well as Rinaldi himself—into a vortex of mistaken identity and kidnapping.

Meanwhile, thrown together by the demands of the case, Rinaldi and Eleanor deal with the growing attraction between them. Then there’s the gubernatorial campaign of Rinaldi’s former romantic rival, District Attorney Leland Sinclair. Plot twists multiply as a frenzy of accusations and political maneuvering gathers steam.

Descriere

A blistering summer heat wave is the backdrop for Fever Dream.
 
Nearly a year after psychologist Daniel Rinaldi, a trauma expert who consults with the Pittsburgh Police, helped unravel a baffling murder, he finds himself drawn into another case. When a daring bank robbery goes horribly wrong, resulting in the deaths of all the hostages except one, Rinaldi is called in to treat Treva Williams, the traumatized young woman who survived.
 
However, what seemed a simple robbery soon explodes into a series of events that plunge the investigating officers, Sgt.Harry Polk and Det. Eleanor Lowrey--as well as Rinaldi himself--into a vortex of mistaken identity, kidnapping, and, ultimately, a fiery climax at an abandoned steel mill.
 
Meanwhile, thrown together by the demands of the case, Rinaldi and Eleanor deal with the growing attraction between them, even as the recently-divorced Harry Polk spirals into an alcohol-driven, self-destructive free-fall.
 
All of which is played out against the gubernatorial campaign of Rinaldi's former romantic rival, District Attorney Leland Sinclair. Until, as sudden death threats against Sinclair fuel a mounting frenzy of accusations and political maneuvering, Rinaldi finds himself facing the reality that the two cases might somehow be connected. And that now, what he knows--or thinks he knows--makes him a target as well...
 
Fever Dream is the second book in the Daniel Rinaldi series, following Mirror Image.
