An angry and mercilessly suspenseful novel about an ex-con's attempt to negotiate the "straight world" and his swan dive back into the paradoxical security of crime. Airtight in its construction, it is almost photorealistic in its portrayal of LA lowlife and utterly knowledgeable about the terrors of liberty, the high of the quick score and the rage that makes the finger tighten on the trigger of the gun.

"The best first-person crime novel I have ever read" - Quentin Tarantino
"A gripping and harrowing read" - Daily Mail

Sunny Randall, the beautiful blonde Boston PI with a yen for dogs, painting and her ex-husband Richie, has won over even the most hardcore of Robert B. Parker's many fans. In Shrink Rap, Sunny tries to take down a stalker, and faces personal demons in the process. Melanie Joan Hall is a bestselling author in a bind: her publisher needs her to tour on behalf of her newest blockbuster, and Melanie Joan needs a bodyguard-cum-escort to protect her from an overbearing, omnipresent ex-husband whose presence unnerves her to the point of hysteria. Enter Sunny, whose cool demeanour, cop background and PI smarts are an instant balm for the older woman. The two form a bond on the road, and Sunny begins to sense that Melanie Joan's ex - a psychotherapist - is not your basic stalker. When an incident at a booksigning leaves the ex bloodied and the author unconscious, it's clear the stakes have skyrocketed. Sunny's investigation points to troubling episodes in Melanie Joan's past - and in her ex's present. Deciding that the only way to crack the case is from the inside, she enters therapy herself, only to discover some disturbing truths about herself... while putting her life on the line. Gripping, nuanced and filled with the crackling dialogue and psychological insight which have become his hallmarks, Shrink Rap is Robert B. Parker at his best.
