When the administrative head of the Steen Psychiatric Clinic is found dead with a chisel in her heart, Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard is called in to investigate. Dalgliesh must analyze the deep-seated anxieties and thwarted desires of patients and staff alike to determine which of their unresolved conflicts resulted in murder. With "discernment, depth, and craftsmanship," wrote the *Chicago Daily News,* *A Mind to Murder* "is a superbly satisfying mystery." The terrifying truth about an eminent psychiatric clinic comes out when the administrative head is found horribly murdered. And in an explosive atmosphere of psychiatry, sex, and drugs, Dalgliesh has the uneviable task of finding a killer out to prove that the first murder was no Freudian slip. Reissue.
