Rage Therapy

By Daniel Kalla

Book Overview

A compelling psychological thriller that probes the darkest compulsions of the human mind. Dr. Stanley Kolberg was not just murdered. His lifeless body was battered and broken almost beyond recognition, as though his unknown killer had been driven by a ferocious rage that had exploded madly out of control. As far as the Seattle police are concerned, there is no shortage of suspects. A distinguished psychiatrist, Kolberg specialized in anger management and often treated violent offenders with severe psychiatric disorders. His client list is a virtual lineup of sociopaths, psychotics, and convicted murderers, any one of whom might have unleashed their homicidal fury on the doctor. For Dr. Joel Ashman, who consults as a profiler for Seattle Homicide, the shocking crime strikes particularly close to home. Not only was the victim a fellow psychiatrist, but Kolberg was also his former partner and mentor--he was practically a second father to Joel, who soon finds himself the target of a faceless stalker as well. Who killed Stanley Kolberg and why? The answers lie hidden in a lurid underworld of depraved sex and violence--and in the tortured past of one disturbed young woman.

Loved it!

I did NOT expect the ending! Great read!

Great book...

This book was great. Great plot, suspenseful, full of twists and turns. The book has great characters and character development. There is a giant curveball for the ending, I never saw it coming. Try this book, I bet you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Much better than the last one

I just finished Rage Therapy. This author has been 50-50 for me so far, so I hesitated with Rage Therapy. I am glad that I ended up getting it. The story of psychologist Joel - being asked to "solve" the murder of his friend and co-worker is slow starting. At the beginning, I was wondering if this would be yet another slow moving Kalla novel (I hated his previous book and loved his first one)but it soon picks up and I found myself totally engrossed. Quick paced and entertaining and kept me guessing. Nice medical thriller. Not as good as Pandemic, but pretty good.
