A girl molested ... A father murdered … A killer on the loose … The young UC graduate went to her father’s beachside condo the night he was murdered, but she doesn’t remember shooting him. Janice Parrish had plenty reason to hate her father after recalling the horrible memories of the abuse as a child some 20 years ago. But even as she’s booked on murder charges, she knows there was someone else at his house that night. So begins Janice’s dark journey through a tortuous psychological wasteland of false memory and real murder. In this first in the thriller series, San Diego crime reporter Ray Myers digs up evidence that turns the story into a media event and at once makes both him and Janice targets of a psychopath on a grisly pursuit of revenge. In a race against time to save Janice as well as Myers' own family, it's up to the reporter to stop the stalker whose murder spree has only just begun. A psychological mystery, The Courage to Kill is a superb portrayal of the fallacies of the malleability in the treatment for repressed memory, a controversial subject whose impact has most fixated the mental health profession since Freud. "Argo once again demonstrates and documents himself as a master storyteller with this swiftly paced psychological thriller that will hold and keep the reader’s rapt attention from first page to last. A riveting piece of deftly woven fiction as real as today’s newspaper headlines, The Courage to Kill is highly recommended.” — Jack Mason, The Midwest Book Review
