More About This Book

Overview

An hour before inventor John Snow is to undergo experimental brain surgery, he's discovered outside Massachusetts General Hospital, dead from a single bullet wound. Did he commit suicide as the police suspect-or was he murdered?

Forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger is about to find out. As he digs into Snow's complex past, he discovers a host of tortured relationships: The wife who can never forgive what Snow has done to their child and their marriage... The son who loathes him... The beautiful mistress who loves him deeply but can never have him... The business partner intent on taking control of his inventions...

Whatever secret Snow took to his grave, it is casting a shadow of suspicion over the people who said they loved him. Now Clevenger must venture into a dead man's dark past to unearth the truth-in an explosive mystery of passion and betrayal.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Number five in Ablow's Dr. Frank Clevenger series (after 2003's Psychopath) continues the forensic psychiatrist's insightful investigations into intricate and deadly puzzles. Called in by a stumped Boston police department, Clevenger applies his skills to the mystery surrounding genius inventor John Snow, who is found shot outside Massachusetts General Hospital just an hour before he is to undergo experimental brain surgery. The police want Clevenger to determine if the death is murder or suicide. When Snow's lover, Grace Baxter, is found several days later with a slashed throat and wrists, the question surfaces again. Clevenger is a meticulous procedural investigator; he and partner North Anderson follow each and every lead to its logical, if sometimes tedious, conclusion. Clevenger's m tier is interviewing suspects, and there's a surplus of them as family, friends and enemies, any one of whom could have killed the eccentric Snow, parade through the pages. Clevenger's problematic personal life is again examined in detail: adopted 18-year-old Billy is still challenging Clevenger's shaky parenting skills, and Clevenger's love affair with FBI chief forensic psychiatrist Whitney McCormick is always on-again, off-again. Drugs and alcohol, two other demons from his past, wait in the wings. Clevenger agonizes over all of this while methodically solving the riddle of Snow's murder, playing each of the suspects against the other until he tricks a confession out of the guilty party. While the excitement is not exactly pulse pounding, Clevenger puts in some solid sleuthing, and the low body count is refreshing amid a sea of frenetic thrillers in which victims number in double digits. Agent, Beth Vesel. (July) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal
Who would bother to murder a man about to have surgery that will save his life but destroy his memory? Only forensic psychiatrist and best-selling Ablow knows for sure, and his longstanding protagonist, Dr. Frank Clevenger, is about to find out. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Kirkus Reviews
A beautiful mind gets snuffed, and a forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger (Psychopath, 2003, etc.) sniffs something rotten in Denmark. Suicide's the initial call, but Dr. Clevenger's inner olfactometer is registering off the charts. John Snow, M.I.T. professor, aeronautical engineer, and universally acknowledged genius, has died of a gunshot wound to the chest. Boston cops say self-inflicted, but Clevenger says no way. Maybe it's just that the dead man wasn't in a suicidal kind of place; there was too much of a positive nature happening in his life. Or look at it this way: the usual suspect list contains an unusual number of sleuth-arousing possibilities. Collin Coroway, for instance, Snow's partner in Coroway Engineering (radar systems, sonar, missile technology), who becomes sole owner of a multimillion-dollar patent with Snow's demise. Consider Mrs. Snow, for years a patient Griselda of a wife, now thoroughly aware that she's become a woman blatantly scorned. Kyle and Lindsay Snow, son and daughter, can't be ruled out either, since each was tormented in different ways by the paternal neglect of icy Snow. And yet, the ironic fact is that Snow, in the four or five months preceding his death, had never been happier. In gloriously beautiful Grace Baxter-auburn hair, green eyes, "the body of a mermaid"-he had found his lovemap. "Lovemaps," Clevenger explains on several occasions to more or less interested parties, "are people meant for one another." But is there something a little ersatz about gorgeous Grace? Of course there is, and when Clevenger gathers his suspects together in one room (obeisance here to Dame Agatha), the reader discovers that ersatz has been running wild. The plotfails to cohere mostly because the characters fail to convince, as if the author couldn't quite tap into the artistry needed to breathe life into them. Ablow has done better work in this series. Agent: Beth Vesel/Beth Vesel Agency

    Frank Clevenger is Back in this Clever Mystery

    The pieces of this mystery puzzle are assembled much like an Agatha Christie novel--forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger interviews suspects in a gruesome murder-suicide case--then gathers everyone for the 'big reveal.'

    Excellent mystery

    John Snow was a genius who made millions from his inventions but the money came at a price. Every time he was near a breakthrough, he suffered a severe grand mal epileptic seizure. Unable to live with the affliction anymore, he decided to have cutting edge brain surgery that could cause blindness or leave him unable to remember any of the people closest to him. An hour before he was due for surgery someone killed him in the alley near the hospital................................ Forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger is asked by Detective Mike Coady of the Boston police department to determine whether John committed suicide or was murdered, as the autopsy results were inconclusive. By accepting the case, Frank has to look at all the people who were closest to the man, his wife, business partner, children and mistress to see who had a motive. He discovers they all did........................... Keith Ablow is one of the best thriller writers on the market today. His protagonist, a psychologically flawed person, overcomes the abuse he suffered from his sadistic father to help people and to make sure the killers are caught so they won¿t hurt anyone ever again. There is a lot of action scenes in MURDER SUICIDE but the best parts of this exciting thriller is watching the hero put the pieces of the puzzle together.......................... Harriet Klausner
