Synopsis
Help Line is the second book in the Portia McTeague series by one of America's foremost forensic psychologists, based on true-life murder cases in which she has served as an expert witness. In the psychiatric help line of the title, Portia McTeague knows one of her callers is a killer.

Forensic psychologist Dr Portia McTeague has her own Help Line, taking shifts on a local crisis line that provides psychological consultation and referrals for troubled people. Like the caller who identifies himself only as 'Ivan'. As Ivan's calls increase, Portia begins to realise that he must be the killer at large...

But when the full-scale investigation team at a loss for leads makes a public appeal for help Portia - oddly missing the very stresses from which she has purposely withdrawn - decides to volunteer her services and return to the media-filled not to mention dangerous life of forensic investigation. When two more women in helping professions are murdered Portia realizes that she`s dealing with nothing less than a serial killer someone with simultaneous needs to be caught and to outsmart the authorities. And as she tries to get inside his mind and determine his identity she has no idea how close he may be or how cleverly he is manipulating her. In the end before the killer is unmasked Portia will be fighting for her life.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Fourth Estate Limited The date of this copy is 1999 booksalvation have grade it as Acceptable and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
