    About this ebook

    When boastful prospector Jerome Harrington claims brute strength trumps intellect, he gets drawn into a high-stakes wager with psychologist Professor Giddens. To settle their battle of brawn versus brains, Harrington and his cronies take Giddens captive into the wilderness. There, they force the frail professor into grueling manual labor. But Giddens has an ace up his sleeve: his formidable expertise in human psychology. Will his formidable mind prevail against their imposing muscle?

      It happened so long ago you’d think I’d just forget it. But I haven’t, I can’t; it’s nested in my mind, coiled and twisted into my memory like a serpent I can’t get rid of. I remember it at odd moments: when I’m eating breakfast or riding the train t
