A blistering summer heat wave is the backdrop for Fever Dream.
?
Nearly a year?after psychologist Daniel Rinaldi, a trauma expert who consults with the Pittsburgh Police, helped unravel a baffling murder, he finds himself drawn into another case. When a daring bank robbery goes horribly wrong, resulting in the deaths of all the hostages except one,?Rinaldi is called in to treat Treva Williams, the traumatized young woman who survived.
?
However,?what seemed a simple robbery soon explodes into?a series of?events that plunge the investigating officers, Sgt.Harry Polk and Det. Eleanor Lowrey--as well as?Rinaldi himself--into a?vortex of mistaken identity, kidnapping,?and, ultimately, a fiery climax at an abandoned steel mill.
?
Meanwhile, thrown together by the demands of the case, Rinaldi and Eleanor deal with the growing attraction between them, even?as the recently-divorced Harry Polk spirals into an alcohol-driven,?self-destructive free-fall.
?
All of which is played out against the gubernatorial campaign of?Rinaldi's former romantic rival, District Attorney Leland Sinclair. Until, as sudden death threats against Sinclair fuel a mounting?frenzy of accusations and political maneuvering, Rinaldi finds himself facing the reality that the two cases might somehow be connected.?And that now, what he knows--or thinks he knows--makes him a target as well...
