Summary
Twenty-nine-year-old Lisa Newberry can barely make it through the day. Suddenly widowed and a survivor of a near-fatal attack, she is wracked with grief and despair. Then she hears of a medical trial for a tiny brain chip that emits electrical pulses to heal severe depression. At rope's end, Lisa offers herself as a candidate.
When she receives her letter of acceptance for the trial, Lisa is at first hopeful. But-- brain surgery . Can she really go through with that? What if she receives only the placebo?
What if something far worse goes wrong?
Written in the relentless style for which Brandilyn Collins is known, Double Blind is a psychological thriller with mind-bending twists. Lisa faces choices that drive her to the brink, and one wrong move could cost the lives of many.

Library Journal Review
Lisa Newberry loved her husband, Ryan, dearly and together they mourned the children who would never be when she miscarried three times. Then Ryan died in a car accident. In the midst of her grief, she is mugged in a parking lot, leaving her anxious and depressed. When she is selected for a medical trial for sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder, Lisa begins to feel hopeful. She successfully undergoes the surgery, which implants an "empowerment chip" in her brain. After, however, she begins to have visions of murder and death. VERDICT Collins (Gone to Ground) has written another taut, compelling tale of psychological suspense that weaves a twisty plot with threads of faith. Her latest should appeal to fans of Oliver North's and Ted Dekker's fiction. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
