Publisher Description
A psychological time bomb is triggered in Kellen O'Reilly as he begins to experience disturbing "flashbacks" to his unresolved and turbulent past.
It is winter in Montreal. Dr. Satorius, head of Coldhaven Manor, a psychiatric clinic just outside the city, is taken to court by former patients. He is accused of conducting unorthodox drug-testing and brainwashing experiments there twenty-five years earlier.
The much-publicized trial and the full-scale police investigation into a series of recent murders are among events which draw Kellen O'Reilly and the dynamic and Sexy Sarah Paradis - trial counsel for Satorius's victims - into an ever-widening web of intrigue and corruption involving the CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the police force itself.
As events in Kellen O'Reilly's own past become linked with uncovering secret government-funded psychochemical experiments, tables are turned and Kellen is running for his life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this uninspired thriller set in Montreal, Deverell (Mecca) combines blackmail and murder and bumbling yet vicious mobsters. Twenty-five years? ago Montreal cop Kellen O`Reilly was a subject in CIA-funded experiments performed by sadistic Dr. Satorias--``the Mengele of the mind''--whose brainwashing technique involved LSD. Although O'Reilly is crippled by horrific flashbacks, he initially refuses to join in a suit brought against Satorias by Sarah Paradis, a gorgeous leftist lawyer. Love and death threats eventually persuade him to join forces. O'Reilly and his partner Raolo generate some heat as wisecracking maverick cops, but the action scenes are standard cinematic car chase and shoot-'em-up fare and the romance between Sarah and O'Reilly is more convenient than explicable. An overworked Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory is dredged up for the unsurprising finale.
