Beschreibung

Recruited to replace a renowned psychiatrist who has mysteriously disappeared, Dr. Rachel Miller is plunged into the hectic world of psychiatry at a state-of-the-art clinic specializing in the treatment of dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder. When one of her patients commits suicide under suspicious circumstances, Rachel begins to question her abilities and whether she has made the right career choice. Her doubts are soon replaced by fear as she suspects that her colleagues and their unorthodox methods of treatment are behind the violent suicide. Rachel's fears are shared by Ed Morgan, an insurance agent sent to assess the clinic's insurance needs, after he makes a startling discovery. Enlisting the aid of a patient, an enigmatic ex-CIA agent, and a tenacious FBI agent searching for the missing psychiatrist, Rachel and Ed dig deeper into the clinic's origins, only to discover that the clinic has as many secrets as its patients.

Murder in Vegas - New Crime...

Michael Connelly

Sin City. An artificial oasis of pleasure, spectacle, and entertainment, the gambling capital of America has reinvented itself so many times that it's doubtful that anyone knows for sure what's real and what isn't in the miles of neon and scorching heat. Las Vegas is considered the ultimate player's destination, no matter what your game. Almost anything is available-for a price, mind you-and sometimes losers will walk away from the tables with even less than just an empty wallet or purse; sometimes they don't walk away at all. 
Las Vegas is the true city that never sleeps, where fortunes are made and lost every day, and where snake-eyes aren't found just on a pair of dice.

Adventures of Philip Marlowe The...

Milton Geiger

Philip Marlowe was the most hard-boiled of gumshoes, a Private Investigator who could smell a ruse, taste a betrayal and track down anyone hiding in the shadows.   
 
The radio series was so successful but by 1949 it had the largest audience of any radio show.  That’s quite a claim, and even if not absolutely accurate it’s near the mark.   
 
Marlowe, created by Raymond Chandler, is someone we all seem to know, a door who’s door we would  knock on in times of trial.  His methods might not be totally within the law but hey, these were bad people he was up against and as anyone in the law business knows – needs must. 
 
Van Heflin is Philip Marlowe. And he’s ready for his next case.
