The Stolen Will

In the tradition of Dorothy L. Sayers, this psychological crime novel follows insurance investigator Arthur Penrose as he unravels a fatal car crash that is not what it seems. Drawn into a labyrinth of forged identities, hypnotic suggestion, and meticulously staged accidents, Penrose discovers that the true perpetrator is a fellow investigator who has perfected the art of stripping away the human will. As the line between hunter and hunted blurs, Penrose must confront the terrifying possibility that his every deduction has been silently engineered, and that psychological control means robbing another of the capacity to act as an independent being.
