With their electrifying debut, Kill Switch, Neal Baer, executive producer of Under the Dome, and Jonathan Greene delivered "suspense on the order of The Silence of the Lambs" (Denver Post). Now the former executive producers of NBC’s Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit are back with a stunning new thriller featuring forensic psychiatrist Claire Waters—and a razor-sharp madman who’s ready to Kill Again… Haunted by a brutal childhood, Dr. Claire Waters finds solace in helping other survivors of abuse. Her favorite patient, Rosa Sanchez, is finally getting her life together after being victimized for years. So it’s a shock when Rosa is handcuffed and led away by a man Claire assumes is law enforcement. But as she soon realizes, Rosa has been abducted. Stunned, Claire turns to her friend Nick Lawler, a homicide detective in the NYPD. Relegated to desk work because of his failing eyesight, Nick will have to risk his career to find Rosa—and track down a deranged criminal who reduces his victims to nothing but bones. A brilliant gamesman obsessed with order and perfection, scrawling words and phrases across the walls of his basement apartment, the killer has been preparing for this moment all of his life—when every letter is in place, every piece is in play—and the object of his obsession, Dr. Claire Waters, is in the game. Win, lose, or die... Kill Again is a harrowing psychological thrill-ride filled with terrifying twists and turns, captivating characters, and mindbending puzzles that will keep you guessing until the final, shocking climax.

Kill Again (A Claire Waters Thriller)

CN Kill Switch

Claire Waters is a dedicated forensic psychiatrist with unnervingly personal insights into the criminal mind. Haunted by a disturbing childhood incident, Claire has always been drawn to those rare "untreatable" patients who seem to have no conscience or fear. But one shocking case could make or break her career - and it's waiting for her in the psychiatric wing of New York City's Rikers Island. Quimby is a deranged inmate whose boyish good looks hide a sordid history of dysfunction and abuse, and he triggers something in Claire she'd rather not face. As she tries to unlock Quimby's past, she leaves herself dangerously vulnerable. When the case propels her into the mind of another killer - a homicidal maniac who's watching her every move - it could only end in madness, or murder, or both...Brilliantly constructed and breathtakingly suspenseful, "Kill Switch" is a masterful combination of murder, mystery, and modern forensics - and a stunning debut from a spectacular writing team.

This is a book that might well begin, "Once upon a time… and a place." The time, 1967 and 1968, a period of now mythic cultural significance; the place, central Kentucky, from all appearances far from the epicenters of that cultural upheaval. Yet it was then and there in that other, less centralized community, that Jonathan Greene, a young poet and fledgling publisher from New York City by way of California, met one of the world’s most famous and public hermits, Thomas Merton. The result was the tragically brief friendship and literary collaboration that is celebrated in this volume. 
Greene’s introductory memoir sets the scene, describing the unexpectedly rich intellectual and artistic milieu out in the "hinterland" of Kentucky where he was introduced to Merton through mutual friends. Two brief essays on Merton provide further context for the letters that follow, and demonstrate both the breadth of Merton’s literary interests and the depth of Greene’s knowledge of his friend’s writings. Their letters, all too few, coincided with the limited run of Merton’s literary magazine, Monks Pond, and his exchange with Greene (then publishing his own journal, Gnomon) reveals two deeply erudite and abundantly witty minds at work with the earnest joy of language. The longing of the reader that this collaboration might have lasted for many more years is underscored by the poignancy of Greene’s elegiac poem that closes the volume. 
Both Greene and Merton have been hermits in their respective fashions, yet both in finding their footing away from the larger world found that their feet were nevertheless on the pathway connecting them to that world, engaging them in the life of the mind and of the spirit. Their words, surviving the silence of decades, are indeed all the better for it.
