"Forensic psychiatrist Dr Joel ‘Laz’ Lazarus is forced to confront long-buried demons after his father Dr L dies in suspicious circumstances.

"I remember getting to the end of episode 1 and just being so surprised by the ending. It's coming from the mind of Harlan Coben, and he's such a great storyteller. You just don't know what's going to happen next, and it's completely surprising."
