The fourth installment in the beloved Detective Annalisa Vega series
Is there such a thing as a good sociopath? Newly minted private investigator Annalisa Vega is skeptical, but her first client, Mara Delaney, insists that some sociopaths are beneficial to society. Mara has even written a book titled The Good Sociopath centered around Chicago neurosurgeon Craig Canning. Dr. Canning has saved hundreds of lives so it shouldn't matter that he doesn't actually care about his patients, should it? But Mara has a more urgent problem, she is now concerned that Canning might not be such a good sociopath after all. A young woman in Canning's apartment building mysteriously plunged to her death from a balcony, and Mara fears Canning could be responsible. She needs to uncover the truth about Canning before the book comes out, so Annalisa has little time to search for answers.
Annalisa quickly discovers that more than one person wanted the young woman dead. Canning insists he didn't do it. His charming, unflappable demeanor suggests that either he's telling the truth or Mara is right and he's cold-hearted to the core. But the cops believe the girl's death was an accident. The more Annalisa probes, the more she becomes convinced it's a fiendishly clever murder, one only a brilliant psychopath could pull off. She draws deeper into a battle of wits with Canning, so determined to prove his guilt that she forgets Mara's most important warning—that sociopaths only care about winning at all costs. When Annalisa finally peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the horrifying truth of the girl's death, she may be too late to save herself..

      Having left the Chicago Police Department to open her own detective agency, Annalisa Vega lands a doozy of a first case. And yes, there's more. According to the title of the book that Dr. Mara Delaney's written about him, Dr. Craig Canning is a stellar example of The Good Sociopath. He may lack empathy or genuine emotions concerning anyone else, but he's a skilled neurosurgeon who's saved countless lives and left many patients grateful. So Mara really doesn't want her $1 million book deal blown up by Canning's proximity to the death of Victoria Albright, the socialite across his courtyard who plunged to her death a few minutes before Canning began his day at the hospital, and she asks Annalisa to look into the case and make sure Canning's not one of those bad sociopaths. No sooner has Annalisa agreed than her own teenage stepdaughter, Cassidy Weaver, who's wangled her way into becoming her assistant, presents her with an unofficial case of her own: her girlfriend Naomi's search for her mother, Elizabeth Johnston. Naomi doesn't exactly have a sentimental reunion in mind. She desperately needs a new kidney, and she has yet to turn up a match. How likely is a mother who abandoned her child before she turned 3 to donate a kidney to her now--especially since the more information that emerges about Elizabeth, the worse she looks? About as likely that Craig Canning is a good sociopath--or, for that matter, the only sociopath who emerges from this utterly characteristic thicket of secrets and lies, each of them more unsavory than the last. Enough to keep you awake long after you turn the last page, though perhaps one sociopath too many.
