Mind Games

Gaby McCray is capable of the most terrible atrocities, and yet she's a gentle, loving mother and a practising psychologist too. How can she be all these things? You're a Behemoth, the director of Ethos tells her. 'A sleeping beast... In other words, a psychopath who can switch their mania off and on at will. But you're not alone, and one day, they'll come for you - all the other Behemoth...' Gaby is horrified - and yet also empowered. She has a child to protect now, so perhaps it's good she's a beast. How else could she have fought off the other beasts she's come across in the power-hungry organisation her father set up? But even as she celebrates the modicum of power being a psychopath gives her, she knows her luck can't hold, and when they come looking for her, demanding their pound of flesh, she decides to fight. A race across Paris to evade an enemy she can't decide whether to hate or love brings her close to the truth, but it's in the last place Gaby ever thinks to look that the final revelation awaits her. It takes a beast to tame a beast, they say. For Gaby the beasts are both within and without, and unless she tames all of them, they'll consume not only her but everyone she holds dear.The Behemoth is the 2nd book in the Mind Games series.
