First, a confession: I have been a fan of the Erickson brand of hypnotherapy since forever! Since the blurb didn't mention the Ericksonian foundation for the novel it took me by surprise (a wonderful surprise) in the introduction.The plot: Aaron Braun, a master of reading non-verbal communication, drawing out people, and making exactly the comments that will shift them onto a positive life-track, is employed by people who would automate the non-verbal analytic skills to use AGAINST people. Aaron, realizing that his employers are lethal, fakes his own death to escape them. Living under a false identity in a state of unhappiness, he learns that a former friend is near death and that her daughter is dead.A virus is to blame. Aaron, though upset, does nothing until hearing that someone has been arrested for the child's murder. Then he springs into action.Conner is a cop. Since drugs are no longer illegal, the underworld has shifted to knock-offs of brand-name clothing, and with the fashion industry incensed he does his best to combat it. Eventually forced to do some serious thinking about exactly who is hurt by the knock-offs - he connects with Aaron for a wild and woolly ending to a suspense-filled tale beautifully spiced with Ericksonian methodology. I loved it!
