I would rather read about a criminal — or an alleged criminal — who goes to therapy than one who goes to prison. This is more a philosophical stance than a political one. How many variations are there of someone getting shivved, how many recipes for toilet wine? In Luna’s new novel, a Brooklyn prison psychologist, Dr. Caroline Strange — yes, the hero is Dr. Strange — has a shifty client, Nelson Schnack, who declares he’s going to kill someone. Schnack is also possibly involved in the recent disappearance of a woman, and when the cops come to interview Strange, her cagey answers make her a suspect too. When Strange launches an investigation of Schnack, she is shaken to find that he knows secrets of her own — secrets she thought she had buried forever. (MCD)
