The Prophet Motive by Eric Christoperson was a good psychological drama about cult life, how people can get hooked into cults and the connections that can be made between people.  John Richetti, a police detective, was a compelling character with his need to avenge his family and confidence that he could withstand cult indoctrination. The way the story was written made me wonder if John's developing relationship with the assigned psychologist, Marilyn Michaelsen, was his way of not falling completely under the cult's spell.  Marilyn was far more able to resist the cult's brainwashing.  There was an element of science fiction to this story which was another reason I loved the book.  Will be reading more of Christopherson in the future.
