Fixation by Mark Schorr
Psychotherapist Mark Schorr's thrilling sequel to the widely-praised Borderline has counselor Brian Hanson risking his life and reputation to scourge his own wounds.Brian Hanson is a combat vet with PTSD and a history of substance abuse, who has turned his life around and become a counselor in Portland, Oregon. He works with some of the city's most challenging mental health and addictions cases, helping them battle suicidal, and sometimes homicidal, urges.
When an FBI raid goes badly for his girlfriend, special agent Louise Parker, her resiliency is tested. Alienated and under investigation by the agency she was loyal to, an overwhelmed Louise relies on Brian's support. But a cunning stalker is deliberately sabotaging her life, and she struggles as the harasser grows more and more aggressive.
Brian and Louise face a menace that puts their relationship, and their lives, in danger.
