|  | Speaking in Tongues by Dennis Boutsikaris, William Jeffries
Dr. Aaron Matthews is a brilliant therapist of international renown. If only the characters of SPEAKING IN TONGUES knew that he is also a homicidal psychopath. At the beginning of this novel, Matthews kidnaps young Megan McCall and imprisons her in an abandoned, vermin-ridden mental hospital, which makes for as Gothic a setting as you could want. Among Megan's would-be rescuers are her father, the brilliant lawyer Tate Collier, her mother, Bett, and her sensitive, romance-novel-reading boyfriend, Josh. The estranged Tate and Bett rekindle their romance as they work together to find Megan. Meanwhile, the genius manipulator Dr. Matthews attacks his enemies with nothing but words--exploiting their weaknesses and convincing them to destroy themselves.
