The Session, by Judith Kelman, is a story with a promise. A young therapist, working with the criminally insane, witnesses a brutal murder in prison, and is fired for not controlling the situation. She develops a private practice, but is obsessed with getting to the bottom of this murder.
Mixed in this pot is her relationship with a deaf twin sister (a best-selling author), an insane brother, a loving ex, the family of the murdered woman, and some strange patients.

Rating:  - Wow.
This is the first Judith Kelman book I've read, and certainly not the last, if her others are anything like this one. It sucked me in, and I couldn't put it down. Highly recommend.
Rating: - Great Book!
Avid fan of this author and pit her up there with my other top favorites of Patricia Cornwell, Mary Higgins Clark, and Sandra Brown. Would definitely recommend all her books!

When Jeannie is murdered, P. J's overbearing and unsympathetic boss, Chief Calvin Daley, summarily fires her. It seems that Daley prefers his prisons violence-free.
