From the LA Times Book Prize-winning author comes a suspenseful and
mind-bending novel about Eldon Chance, a forensic neuropsychiatrist
at the end of his rope - now a Hulu TV series starring Hugh Laurie
and Gretchen Moi. Chance is a dark story about psychiatric mystery,
sexual obsession, fractured identities, and terrifyingly realistic
violence; a tale told amid the back streets of California's Bay
Area, far from the cleansing breezes of the ocean. The antihero of
this book, Dr. Eldon Chance, a neuropsychiatrist, is a man primed
for spectacular ruin. Into Dr. Chance's blighted life walks Jaclyn
Blackstone, the abused, attractive wife of an Oakland homicide
detective, a violent and jealous man. Jaclyn appears to be
suffering from a dissociative identity disorder. In time, Chance
will fall into bed with her; or is it with her alter ego, the
voracious and volatile Jackie Black? The not-so-good doctor,
despite his professional training, isn't quite sure and soon finds
himself up against her husband, Raymond, a formidable and dangerous
adversary. Meanwhile, Chance also meets a young man named D, a
self-styled, streetwise philosopher skilled in the art of the
blade. It is around this trio of unique and dangerous individuals
that long-guarded secrets begin to unravel, obsessions grow, and
the doctor's carefully arranged life comes to the brink of
implosion. Chance is a twisted, harrowing, and
impossible-to-put-down head trip through the fun house of fate;
it's not pretty, it's not sweet, but it is disturbing and
unforgettable.
