Imagine a process that would allow its implementer to come very close to reading someone's mind. Think about the good that it might do. The right doctor could use it on the criminal population to help determine who is actually ready to be paroled. It might be used in a trial to see if someone is truly mentally ill or just a consummate liar. Unfortunately, in the wrong hands it could be deadly, so it would need to be used by a person who understood the possible consequences.
Meet Dr. Johanna Anderson, the psychologist who invented and is using this miraculous system. She is working with ex-con Seth Bell, a senator's son, when he inexplicably seems to commit suicide. His parents believe Dr. Jo should have been able to prevent his death, and they are taking her to court to prove it. Since this would be a devastating strike against the process that she believes in, she needs to find the perfect lawyer.
Meet Mike Webster, a San Francisco plaintiff's lawyer who never loses. After doing her research, Dr. Anderson wants him to switch sides and defend her in this case. After first turning her down he relents, and he puts his heart (maybe too much heart) and soul in to winning the case and protecting MIND'S EYE from bad publicity. Unfortunately, it might need protection from more than publicity.
Meet Horizon Finance, a shadowy firm with top management who sees an opportunity to sell MIND'S EYE to intelligence agencies that could use it for nefarious purposes. Horizon Finance will go to any extent to get what they want.
I found Death in the Mind's Eye well written and thought provoking. The idea of a process that could actually read the minds of those it is used on is frightening, and corporations who would want to exploit it are all to real. The story line has many twists and turns, and the characters, for the most part, are quite likable. Definitely an exciting read that leaves me wanting more from this author.
