Mind Sleuth

2020 Wishing Shelf Book Awards Finalist A suspenseful whodunit, where not all the suspects are human. Recently graduated Ruger-Phillips employee, Dr. Sam "Doc" Price, is looking forward to his new project--evaluating training for a team. But it's a team like no other because only one of the team members is human. The other is one of the most intelligent and lethal systems ever built by man - the Joint Aerial Combat Capability (JACC). Loaded with the latest in detection and threat assessment technology, JACC is a silent, deadly military drone. Doc soon discovers, however, that JACC may not be the only killer on the remote, Nevada test range when he finds himself in a cat and mouse game with an unknown adversary. In a fight for his life and the lives of his friends, Doc asks himself, how do you match wits with the mind in the clouds when you're not sure if you are facing the cold, exact logic of machine intelligence or the coldblooded urges of a human murderer? The Mind Sleuth Series follows the life of Dr. Sam "Doc" Price, a cognitive psychologist by training and reluctant sleuth as demanded by events. Using his wits to survive and his psychological training to investigate, he uncovers crimes that can only be understood by probing the vast, unexplored realms of the human mind. Books in the series are standalone, each with a crime solved, while the backstory of Doc and his colleagues is ongoing.

Recently graduated psychologist, Dr. Sam Doc" Price and his inexperienced team had always held those principles to be true…at least, under normal circumstances. But as they studied the work of Dr. Ned Worthington, a brilliant but troubled neuroscientist, they began to wonder if he had created an electronic world that was anything but normal. He claimed it could rewire the brain, repurpose sections of it for new uses. And the man who had used it was capable of remarkable feats. But as their awe of what might be possible grew, so did their unease about what was implied. Just beyond what they could prove, there seemed a dark side of the technology and perhaps, a man who had succumbed to it. Was he watching? Was he coming for them? And when Doc and his team finally secured the evidence they sought, only one question remained. Now that they knew, could they survive the truth?
