Ilustration During Books The Analyst (The Analyst #1)
'Happy fifty-third birthday, Doctor. Welcome to the first day of your death. You ruined my life. And now I fully intend to ruin yours.'You have exactly one fortnight, starting tomorrow morning at 6 a.m., to discover who I am. When you succeed you must purchase one of those tiny ads at the bottom of the New York Times front page, and print my name there.
'If you do not succeed, then ... you will take note that the second sheet of this letter contains the names of fifty-two of your relatives. If you are unable to purchase the ad as described, then you will have this choice: kill yourself immediately or I will destroy one of these innocent people.'
Until the moment he opens the letter, New York psychologist Dr Frederick Starks has led a quiet and, so he believes, blameless life. He has no idea why he's being judged by this unknown tormentor a former patient - who then lethally begins to demonstrate the potential of his, or her, threats. As the layers of Starks's carefully constructed life are stripped from him, he quickly finds himself a powerless pawn in a psychopath's devious game of vengeance.

Complex, thrilling, especially in the second part. A bit predictable at the end, but a lovely reading if you like the genre. Very vivid, though with a lot of introspection, I would definitely watch an adaptation of it. What is interesting: initially you don't like the victim at all. At all. :D But enough with the details, go and read it. :)I enjoyed this book. Nice twists and turns. Smart plot. Its a little frustrating at times because the main character gets knocked down a lot but the ending is good. Nice read.
Some of the dialogue in this had me rolling my eyes back into my head
The Analyst- ExJohn KatzenbachNew York City psychoanalyst Frederick (Ricky) Starks receives an anonymous missive saying that Starks has ruined the writer's life and that he has ten days in which to discover his or her identity. If he fails, he must commit suicide; if he does not comply with this order, someone in his family will suffer or die. At first Ricky is disoriented and unable to function effectively, but he soon begins to take action. Using his research skills, he finds that a former
This was a highly entertaining thriller that completely fulfilled my expectations. Dr. Frederick Starks, a psychoanalyst, is contacted by someone who calls himself Rumplestiltskin. He gets 15 days to find out the real name of Mr. R. After the deadline has passed he either has to kill himself or something terrible will befall one of Starks' relatives. The reason for this race against death is, of course, revenge. Mr. R allows Starks to ask him questions through the Times' personal ads section. He
Wow, this was much better than I expected. That twist.
Why the hell did I read this again? No clue. Wait, now I remember - for the same reason anyone else did. I was at an airport and wanted to read something less tiresome than the usual newspapers and magazines. Before I finished the first sentence, I expected to leave this novel behind on the plane with the plastic headphones and Sky Mall catalog, never to be seen again. Yet Katzenbach won me over and I found myself not only enjoying the story but trying to cast the movie this novel is so clearly
