Delusion: A Mystery
Forensic psychologist Peter Zak, hired to determine whether Nick  Babikian's paranoia led him to stab his wife to death, is feeling a little  paranoid himself. Despite the fact that the man who murdered his own wife is in  prison, Peter has reason to believe that Ralston Bridges is behind the break-ins  at his house, the tricks being played on his girlfriend, even the illegally  installed surveillance system he discovers in his home. Is Babikian's paranoia  catching, or is Bridges, a patient at the same mental hospital where Nick is  being held, actually manipulating Peter with the help of an outside accomplice?  And why is the detective assigned to the case so anxious to pin the murder on  someone that he's ignoring important evidence from Nick's own in-house security  system? Fans of Jonathan Kellerman and Stephen White, take note: here's a  psychological thriller that's chilling enough to make you wonder who's watching  you, too.--Jane Adams
