Book description
A promising young research fellow for a venerable think tank in
Zurich has just filed his last report, as he is forced into a ghastly
experiment. A seductive young woman travels to Florida and from her
hotel room coolly sharpshoots a dying old man in a wheelchair. A
psychologist who helps patients confront and dispel past trauma
through hypnosis battles his own silent but emergent demons.
In Trance State John Case combines these elements into a
pulse-pounding, mind-twisting new thriller. Just what is the
connection between the research fellow, the young assassin and the
psychologist? After the young woman kills herself, why should her
sister trust anyone who might have been involved with her? When
unknown assassins burst into the psychologist's office, who is their
target - him or the young woman's sister? Where is the deadly trail
into the CIA's mind-control experiments leading them? Could this be
another trap? Or could they be about to unearth a great and secret
conspiracy at the heart of the Intelligence communities around the
world and the deadly, dangerous people they employ?
John Case is the pseudonym for the husband and wife writing team of
Jim and Carolyn Hougan, both published authors in their own right. After
Carolyn died in 2007, Jim left Washington and now lives in Aston,
Virginia. For many years Jim Hougan has been a journalist specialising
in intelligence issues. He has published widely in the field and has
made several accalimed documentaries for US programmes including 60
Minutes. John Case is the author of six thriller novels including the
New York Times bestseller,
The Genesis Code
