The attractive and cunning genius Ryan Kroll is known throughout the private sector as a man who can obtain information by any means necessary — often using creative and violent tactics to get what he wants. In the past, his targets were obvious and his end result was clear. So when he appears in the affluent and seemingly quiet community of Pacific Heights and quickly begins illicit affairs with the wives of two of San Francisco’s most powerful businessmen, his behavior is suspect. But when the psychotherapist treating both women realizes that Kroll has broken into her files and is using the women’s private thoughts and fears against them, manipulating them to the point of insanity, it becomes more than coincidence — it becomes deadly. The job of capturing Kroll before it’s too late falls to Marten Fane, a retired detective known for his clear head and complete discretion. Haunted by his own demons and employing his quick wit, Fane might be the perfect person to foil Kroll’s mental games and prevent him from committing what could possibly be a traceless form of murder. With a tight plot and a ruthless narrative, Pacific Heights introduces the Marten Fane series with the breakneck suspense and extraordinary talent only a bestselling author could create.

"I really liked this book, I almost stopped reading it because I read all the reviews on Amazon.com. And even on here, but I realized I have my own books that I like. I thought it was suspenseful and engaging. I love the main character Marten Fane and am really looking forward to more of his books!" — Terri (4 out of 5 stars)

" Weird book. More background needed on "detective". Hard to believe. Some interesting material on psychoanalis. "
" Decent suspense story, interesting premise--a therapist treating 2 unrelated women being victimized by a psycho. Some of the spy jargon was a little hard to decipher and bogged down the story for me. "
" An intriguing story - a somewhat different mystery story. Easily readable writing style and not sensationalistic, gory or profane. "
" Good to have David Lindsay back, even if he can't write under his own name anymore. "
" Another book that surprised me. I thought it would be simply a nice who-dun-it, the book became a spy novel halfway through. Nice staging, good construction and a decent ending. My favorite part is how the author evokes San Francisco. He obviously loves the town and it shows. "
" Great start to hopefully a series. "
" A little hard to follow at first; but then, interesting as it proceeded. "
" The author had an intriguing idea for a story. However, instead of weaving the plot into the novel, he waited until the epilogue, where he revealed everything in the context of a contrived telephone call. Cheap trick. "
" This was a good suspense novel--lots of high tech surveillance, etc---however when David Lindsey was writing under his real name his books were significantly better--what happened?? "
" Great book! Really good psychological thriller... "
" Very interesting premiss. Scary. It will be an interesting series. this was the first. "
" Creepy psychological thriller involving rich women having affairs with a very scary guy & their psychiatrist who has to deal with some sticky ethical situations "
" Woeful book, poor story, poor ending and poorly written ie missing words in the middle of sentences "
" I'm charmed that David Lindsey is finally back -- Paul Harper is pseudonym. Enjoyed this book and very much looking forward to the next book in what I hope will be a satisfyingly long and engaging series. "
