Synopsis: The Naked Face Book. When his patients start turning up dead, Manhattan psychoanalyst Dr. Judd Stevens realizes he may be next — and the only way to survive is to use his own skills to unmask a killer hiding in plain sight. Sidney Sheldon’s Edgar-nominated debut thriller launched one of the bestselling careers in fiction.
Dr. Judd Stevens has built a career reading people — as one of Manhattan’s most trusted psychoanalysts, he’s spent years helping patients face their darkest fears. But now he’s facing one of his own: someone is trying to kill him.
First, a patient struggling with his own private battle is murdered. Then Judd’s secretary is found tortured to death. As the bodies mount and the police start to suspect Judd himself, he realizes that surviving means turning his own trade against the very person hunting him — before they strike again.
Sheldon builds relentless psychological tension by trapping readers inside Judd’s own uncertainty — is the killer a stranger, a patient, or someone far closer than he’d like to admit? Every relationship becomes suspect, every session a potential clue, as Judd races to unmask a murderer before he becomes the next victim.
Sidney Sheldon’s very first novel, The Naked Face announced the arrival of a master storyteller — earning an Edgar Award nomination and launching a career that would make Sheldon one of the best-selling authors of the 20th century. For readers who like their thrillers claustrophobic, cerebral, and personal, this is where it all began.
