The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deavers (PF)

In this book Deaver's does create a most devious villan in the person of Pell, a power hungary killer who idolizes Charles Manson. The book starts with a dramatic prison break by Pell that quickly defines Pell's as a sociopath who has no conscious about killing others if it is necessary for his survival. The break occurs after he has been interrogated by a kinesic analyst, Kathryn Dance. Once he has escaped Dance and her team are charged with anticipating his motivation and his probable action in order to capture him before he kills any more. The action is fast, the plot unpredictable, the characters diverse, and the outcome unpredictable. One of the most fascinating elements of the script is the remarkable exposure of the physical and verbal clues that a skillful kinesic interogator uses to determine the level of believability of the speaker's responses.
