    About this ebook

    Never get involved with a patient ... Especially the one threatening your life ...
    Robert Sutherland seemed harmless enough ... then Dr. Mason Stevens announced he was closing up his practice. A thrifty mind and an inadvertent best-seller gave him the means to travel. Soon Dr. Stevens is at peace half-way around the world ... until Sutherland appears. Was it just coincidence the former patient also left San Francisco, and settled in Morocco? Growing hostility convinces Stevens it’s time to develop a healthy case of paranoia — because he never knows when Sutherland might decide to bump into him. "Name of the Stranger" is a contemporary thriller, written in the spirit of Patricia Highsmith, about a mental patient who demands "closure" -- but the hapless psychologist won't close this case without a fight.
