Tom Seymour is a child psychologist who has worked in the north of England for many years. One day, while walking by a river near his home, he rescues a young man from drowning, and realizes that it's Danny Miller, a child murderer at whose trial he once gave evidence. Evidence he has since come to regard as flawed. Danny has served his sentence and is out of prison. But now he's asking for Tom's help.

About the Author:
"It's her canny feel for the psyche's ambiguous meanderings, more than plot twists, that generates most of the thrills....This author creates an atmosphere of menace worthy of a Joyce Carol Oates."--Dan Cryer, Newsday
"Barker soars to new heights with this harrowing, contemporary study of fate tainted by the stench of evil."--Robert Allen Papinchak, USA Today
"Barker creates a sense of menace worth of Ian McEwan...Border Crossing is replete with sharp, expressive exchanges, hard poetry, and as many enigmas as implacable truths."--Kerry Field, The Atlantic Monthly
"Barker writes with compelling urgency--Border Crossing is to be read in one sitting."--Joan Mellen, The Baltimore Sun
"Exhilarating moral exploration, and prose as naked and jolting as an unwrapped live wire."--Richard Eder, The New York Times Book Review
"Pat barker understands the dynamics of psychic and shutdown as well as any writer living....In Border Crossing Barker brings post-traumatic stress disorder from the literal to the domestic battlefield."--Sven Birkerts, Esquire
"Barker has constructed in Danny a classic borderline personality disorder; the result is both chilling and psychologically persuasive...as frightening as it is wise."--Gail Caldwell, The Boston Sunday Globe
