Synopsis

The brilliant, crime-solving Professor Dylan Reinhart returns in the third thrilling instalment of James Patterson's Instinct series

For Dr Dylan Reinhart, the stakes are sky high.

When Carter von Oehson, a student in Reinhart's psychology class, threatens to kill himself, everyone hopes it's a hoax.

But when Carter isn't found after 24 hours, it seems the worst is confirmed. Did he really do it?

Carter's father, a powerful hedge fund CEO, is convinced he didn't. He has his own secrets to hide and can't go to the police. But there's still someone he can turn to.

Reinhart is now wrapped up in multi-million dollar secrets and danger and it's going to take every bit of his expertise, and the help of NYPD Detective, Elizabeth Needham, to close the case.

Can he stay ahead of his enemy... and his employer?
