His specialty is treating victims of violent crime - those who've survived an armed robbery, kidnapping, or sexual assault, but whose traumatic experience still haunts them. \u003ci\u003eHead Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e picks up where Rinaldi's investigation in \u003ci\u003ePhantom Limb\u003c\/i\u003e left off, turning the tables on him as he, himself, becomes the target of a vicious killer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Miles Davis saved my life.\" With these words Rinaldi becomes a participant in a domestic drama that blows up right outside his front door, saved from a bullet to the brain by pure chance. In the chaos that follows, Rinaldi learns his bad-girl, wealthy neighbor has told her hair-triggered boyfriend Rinaldi is her lover. As things heat up, Rinaldi becomes a murder suspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this is just the first act in this chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller. As one savagery follows another, Rinaldi is forced to relive a terrible night that haunts him still. And to realize that now he - and those he loves - are being victimized by a brilliant killer still in the grip of delusion. Determined to destroy Rinaldi by systematically targeting those close to him - his patients, colleagues, and friends - computer genius Sebastian Maddox strives to cause as much psychological pain as possible, before finally orchestrating a bold, macabre death for his quarry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow ironic. As Pittsburgh morphs from a blue-collar town to a tech giant, a psychopath deploys technology in a murderous way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnter two other figures from Rinaldi's past: retired FBI profiler Lyle Barnes, once a patient who Rinaldi treated for night terrors; and Special Agent Gloria Reese, with whom he falls into a surprising, erotically charged affair. Warned by Maddox not to engage the authorities or else random innocents throughout the city will die, Rinaldi and these two unlikely allies engage in a terrifying cat-and-mouse game with an elusive killer who'll stop at nothing in pursuit of what he imagines is revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA true page-turner, \u003ci\u003eHead Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e is the electrifying fifth in a critically acclaimed series of thrillers by Dennis Palumbo.
