No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A San Francisco psychoanalyst goes searching for a killer when a troubled teen stands falsely accused of murder.
Dr. Michael Gray is constantly getting drawn into the lives, and murders, of his troubled clientele. His keen eye for human behavior leads him to meet some of San Francisco's most memorable denizensβand to forever be in mortal danger.
When a cinema owner's wife Ann Avery is murdered, headlines scream for a fast conviction of the juvenile delinquent she had taken under wing. Dr. Gray, however, has other suspects in mind, including a vicious gang leader, a drug addict, a blackmailing drunk, and Ann's clean-cut husband.
But if the good doctor doesn't act quickly, someone might get scratched off his list permanently.
