Every Fifteen Minutes by Lisa Scottoline
This was my first book by this author. I will read more!
Dr. Eric Parrish is Chief of the Psychiatry Unit at a major hospital. Eric truly cares for his patients, both those at the hospital and those he sees in private practice. A colleague at the hospital asks him to talk with a young man who is at the hospital with his grandmother, who is dying. Eric meets Max and sees how distraught he is about losing the only person who has ever cared for him. Eric calms Max and suggests he come talk with Eric at his private practice. Max agrees and makes an appointment. The things that Max divulges in their session leaves Eric fearful that the young man could cause harm to himself or others. But Eric cannot tell the police of his fears unless the threats seem credible. Eric will not break his vow to maintain patient doctor confidentiality. However, when a young woman who Max has mentioned is strangled, Eric is torn. He feels certain that Max didn't do it. As a result of Eric's investigation, he is considered a suspect in the murder. This story moves very rapidly and contains a great deal of detail on psychiatric treatments and how a hospital works.
