Sean Byrnes has everyone fooled. He has found the perfect con and the irony is just too much. Here he is in Arizona, serving as prison psychologist under the name of Dr. Charles McGuire. The real McGuire, the prison psychologist that assured that Sean served out his full sentence, remains undiscovered in the trunk of his car.
The real beauty of the situation is that no one will be even looking for the real McGuire for at least a month. The doctor was starting his sabbatical, taking time off after the death of his wife. This leaves the impostor free to use the good doctor’s credit cards and good name to his advantage.
Aka McGuire leads the reader on a merry chase, wondering how, when, and even if this killer is going to be found out and brought to justice. There are so many times when the characters are startled by the odd behavior of this man but write these acts off as stress or grief. Mostly, these individuals just see what they want and ignore anything that could cast doubt on the fine reputation of Dr. Charles McGuire.
