Sunny Randall, the capable, beautiful,
blond private investigator, is back and in excellent form. In
"Shrink Rap" she has been called upon to body guard the hugely
successful romance writer Melanie Joan Hall during her cross-country
tour to promote her latest best seller. Melanie is in need of a
bodyguard because she is being stalked by her former
psychotherapist, who is also her ex-husband.
Sunny begins her latest assignment with
the belief that her client has nothing more than a case of
overactive imagination, but soon finds out that she is dealing with
something more real. Melanie’s ex, Dr. Melvin, begins to show up at
every book signing, slowly driving Melanie to a state of near
hysteria.

As Sunny delves further into the case,
she decides to go undercover, masquerading as a client, and
discovers that not only is Dr. Melvin a stalker, but he just may be
a sexual predator and murderer.
"Shrink Rap" brings back the regulars
of Mr. Parker’s Sunny Randall mysteries, and we find that Sunny
eventually has to enlist the help of both the intimidating gay
restaurant manager, Spike, and her ex-husband and soul mate, Richie,
to aid in her investigation and watch her back.

Spenser best seller "Widow’s Walk." He lives in Boston.
