Headcase: Book 1: Shock & Denial by Chris K. Jones Chriskjones.com Dr. Andrew Beck is the go-to sports psychologist for troubled pro athletes. There isn't a head he can't fix—except his own. Whether it's a violent hockey pro, reckless power forward, or drug-addicted major league pitcher, Andrew's therapeutic strategies get players out of their heads and back to their winning ways. His status, wealth, and privilege afford him box seats for every game, flying private, an office overlooking Central Park, sports cars, country clubs and a Greenwich mansion. Andrew and his brilliant PR executive wife, Sandra, enjoy a life most would envy. But Andrew has demons of his own. A former golf prodigy and the son of a Masters Golf Champion, he knows firsthand the stress of topflight competition. Ted Beck taught Andrew everything he knows about being the best, but his father's emotional and physical abuse pushed him past a breaking point. At 18, as the country's top amateur, he walked away from golf to pursue psychology. The father and son bond was destroyed. But while Beck quit the game long ago, the game won't quit him. Years later, the drive to win at all costs still burns deep in his soul. He gets entangled in the world of illegal high-stakes gambling—and a dangerous relationship with Fergus Mackenzie, a ruthless operator of an underground club that caters to the vices of the ultra-wealthy. Andrew uses his insider access to athletes in a wager which leads down a path of blackmail, a mysterious murder, and life-or-death bluffing. With his livelihood, marriage, and life on the line, Andrew finds himself playing the ultimate mind game and risks losing everything. And now the only way out is ALL-IN.
