Mirror Image

Announcing my new crime novel, Mirror Image, now available from Poisoned Pen Press. It's the first in a series featuring psychologist Daniel Rinaldi, a trauma expert who specializes in treating victims of violent crime.

Mirror Image is at your bookstores; you can order it in a number of ways. If--like me--you want to support independent bookstores, here's a link to indies in your specific area: Independent bookstores in the U.S. and Canada.

Or else you can order from the usual suspects, the big chain bookstores or Amazon.com. Here's the link: Mirror Image, Dennis Palumbo, Books. --Dennis

Praise for Mirror Image

"Dennis Palumbo establishes himself as a master story-teller with his first crime novel, Mirror Image. Using his background as a licensed psychotherapist to good advantage, Palumbo infuses his fast-moving, suspenseful story with fascinating texture, interesting characters, and the twists, turns and surprises of a mind-bending mystery. Very impressive."

--
Stephen J. Cannell (writer/creator of The Rockford Files; New York Times best-selling mystery author)


"Mirror Image is a rich, complex thriller, built around a sizzling love affair. A compelling read, with surprising twists and characters that leap off the page."

--
Bobby Moresco (Oscar-winning writer/producer of Crash and Million Dollar Baby)


"Mirror Image is a deviously plotted thriller with lots of shocks and surprises you won't see coming, and a smart, sympathetic hero-narrator who takes you along as he peels back layers of lies and wrong guesses to get closer to the truth."

--Thomas Perry (Edgar-winning, New York Times best-selling crime novelist)


"Dennis Palumbo's experience as a psychotherapist hasn't just helped him make his hero, therapist Dr. Daniel Rinaldi, authentic, human and a man in full, it's endowed him with the insight to craft a debut thriller filled with action, deduction and romance, expertly paced for maximum suspense."

--Dick Lochte (award-winning author and critic)


"Dennis Palumbo's novel is stark and disturbing but there's a humanity running through the core of it that makes this book special. Maybe it's Palumbo's dual training--as a writer and as a psychotherapist--that allows him to plumb the depths and bring up not only darkness but those occasional diamonds of light that sparkle and illuminate and make a book worth reading."

--T. Jefferson Parker (Edgar-winning, New York Times best-selling author of The Renegades and Iron River)



"Mirror Image is a standout mind-bender! A wonderfully constructed novel that has you seeing double--and all through the eyes of an intriguingly fresh character: a psychologist. Dennis Palumbo knows his craft. This guy can write."

--Ridley Pearson (New York Times best-selling crime author)



"A gripping thriller, chock full of the desired twists and cliffhangers, with the added layer and intriguing access of a therapist narrator/detective. A page turner!"

--Aimee Bender (New York Times best-selling author of An Invisible Sign of My Own)
