THE VISIONARY
Passman, Donald S.
1999 50216 If you were Madonna's lawyer and were writing your first thriller, wouldn't you put in a part she would love to play when it became a movie? Don Passman must have had that in mind as he created the character of Lisa Cleary, a hard-working accountant who has visions of murders. As the visions become more persistent, they also become more sinister, and Lisa foresees real-life killings. Her unwanted ability brings Lisa to the attention of two men. LAPD detective Danny Talon, who is investigating a series of killings, and UCLA law professor and psychiatrist Dr. Michael Rennick, who knew one of the victims. All the characters are well developed, with many personal quirks and secret weaknesses, but Lisa is clearly the one Passman spent the most time on. Her reactions to the visions she sees are extremely interesting, especially as members of her own family become suspects in the murder investigation. It's the kind of part for which Academy Awards are handed out, and Madonna's name just might be attached someday soon. --Dick Adler From Publishers Weekly Entertainment attorney Passman concocts a predictable crime thriller set in L.A. about a self-proclaimed psychic who doesnt know the whereabouts of her own father yet professes to intuit detailed information about a series of increasingly grisly murders. Lisa Cleary presents herself to Professor Michael Rennick, a Harvard Law/Yale Medical grad who handles pro bono cases and writes bestsellers while teaching law at UCLA. Rennick agrees to make time to counsel Cleary about her visions around the same time LAPD detective Danny Talon asks Rennick to consult on a series of murders of young women. (Italicized sections meant to be the secret journal of the killer are inserted episodically in the text.) When Clearys visions lead to discovery of the murderers equipment, detective Talon wonders to Rennick if Cleary might be the killer, a suggestion the psychiatrist dismisses. A subplot concerns the romantic discord between Rennick and Julie, his lover of three months whos also a graduate student in his class. Julie must choose between staying with commitment-phobic Rennick or going to New York to study with a legendary Nobel laureate in DNA who now works in the humanities because the manipulation of genetic material is leading to a Hitleresque system of discrimination Warner Books, Inc 0446521590 / 9780446521598
