From barnesandnoble.com: Dr. Eric Parrish is the Chief of the Psychiatric Unit at Havemeyer
General Hospital outside of Philadelphia. Recently separated from his
wife Alice, he is doing his best as a single Dad to his seven-year-old
daughter Hannah. His work seems to be going better than his home life,
however. His unit at the hospital has just been named number two in the
country and Eric has a devoted staff of doctors and nurses who are as
caring as Eric is. But when he takes on a new patient, Eric's entire
world begins to crumble. Seventeen-year-old Max has a terminally ill
grandmother and is having trouble handling it. That, plus his OCD and
violent thoughts about a girl he likes makes Max a high risk patient.
Max can't turn off the mental rituals he needs to perform every fifteen
minutes that keep him calm. With the pressure mounting, Max just might
reach the breaking point. When the girl is found murdered, Max is
nowhere to be found. Worried about Max, Eric goes looking for him and
puts himself in danger of being seen as a "person of interest" himself.
Next, one of his own staff turns on him in a trumped up charge of sexual
harassment. Is this chaos all random? Or is someone systematically
trying to destroy Eric's life?
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline's visceral thriller, Every Fifteen Minutes, brings you into the grip of a true sociopath and shows you how, in the quest to survive such ruthlessness, every minute counts.
