"In this assured debut, Janet Enztel has penned a fascinating tale of derangement and deceit set against the backdrop of prison life. aka McGuire offers readers a satisfying mix of startling twists and unexpected turns, punctuated by moments of equally surprising humor and horror. Sit back and enjoy this thrill ride of a novel."
William Kent Krueger (Author of the Cork O’Connor Mysteries)
"From the perspective of two who work inside the criminal justice system, we found aka McGuire to be entertaining with a compelling storyline that reflects the realities of our criminal justice system and some of the bizarre personalities found within."
Jessica Symmes, Warden, Minnesota Correctional Facility - Oak Park Heights and Dennis Benson, Deputy Commissioner, Minnesota State Department of Corrections. |
From the prologue
"What are you doing here, Mr. Byrnes?" McGuire asked. "No greeting? No 'nice to see you' or anything? Just 'What are you doing here, Mr. Byrnes?'" Sean snarled. McGuire watched as Byrnes slowly pulled off his gloves, one finger at a time, and opened his coat. Then, without warning, Byrnes pushed the psychiatrist back into his office and kicked the door shut. "Sit down over there, Doc," he said, pointing to the chair on the far side of the room. Byrnes helped himself to the doctor's plush leather chair. He dug the heels of his hiking boots into the carpet and rolled the chair over to block the doorway. He swiveled around once, and then glared at Dr. McGuire. "What do you want?" the psychiatrist asked, realizing he couldn't leave the room without going through the inmate. "I got released last week, no thanks to you." Byrnes' pale, ice blue eyes narrowed. "Now you shut the hell up and answer my questions." |
