    About this audiobook

    A promising research fellow for a venerable think tank in Zurich is forced into a grisly experiment.… A seductive young woman coolly sharpshoots an old man in a wheelchair as he basks in the late afternoon sun.… A psychologist who helps patients confront past trauma battles his own silent demons.… In The Syndrome, John Case combines these intriguing elements into a pulse-pounding, mind-twisting new thriller.

    Dr. Jeff Duran suffers from severe panic attacks when he ventures too far outside his home office. And he is inexplicably haunted by mysterious memories, and phrases of a foreign language he never learned. Then, after a patient tormented by 'recovered' memories commits suicide—and her half-sister, Adrienne Cope, blames Duran—his life spirals out of control.

    Suddenly targeted by unknown assassins, he and Adrienne must run for their very lives. Forced to trust each other, they must now work together to unlock the reason why one or both of them is marked for death. For beneath the intrigue lies a dark conspiracy that stretches halfway around the world—and a sinister plot that could change the course of history.

    A relentlessly paced thriller in which nothing is what it seems, no one can be trusted, and nothing is secure—especially one's own memories—The Syndrome is a chillingly, brilliantly conceived novel from a proven master of suspense.

    '[It] is one of the few science-mysteries I have read that is impeccable in plot, immaculate in story resolution, and moves with high skill from locale to locale and from suspense to suspense. What a very good, virtuoso read.' —Norman Mailer on The Genesis Code

      (Spoilers) A good thriller about a pseudo-life created by an implant into Jeffrey Duran's head. The plot built a little too slowly, with 'clues' being dropped too heavy-handed a manner. It built momentum after Duran reclaimed his identity as Lew McBride. The female lawyer (Adrienne Cope) and he team up and revenge is dealt to those responsible.
    • 5/5
      This was a very strange story that I'm not sure how to describe. I'm not even sure I liked it. Three seemingly disparate people are drawn into a tale of mind control and impossibilities. I think, maybe, if psychology fascinates you, this is a good thriller.
    • 4/5
      Great psychological thriller - kept me enthralled to the end. I hope I can find some more by the same author. oldstick.
    • 3/5
      This book was a quick read. The blurb on the front cover gave away the meat of the story before I even cracked the binding on the book, but then it wasn't hard to see what was happening. It was a little frustrating that it took the characters so long to figure everything out, but at least they were interesting characters. The wrap-up at the end seemed to way too hurried and out of pace with the rest of the book. But, all in all, it was a pleasant distraction. I wouldn't rave about it, but if someone wanted to read it, I wouldn't discourage them either.
