Sommario/riassunto

Over the last few years, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has rapidly developed into an important and extremely useful method of analysis. In fact, for certain research areas and applications, ranging from material science via chemistry to life sciences, it has become an indispensable tool because this fast and cost-effective type of spectroscopy provides qualitative and quantitative information not available from any other technique.This book offers a balanced overview of the fundamental theory and instrumentation of NIR spectroscopy, introducing the material in a readily comprehensible m

Sommario/riassunto

Still reeling from her young son's death, Jackie Sheppard retreats to a small town in the Colorado Rockies. Comforted that no one knows of her tragic past, she's thrilled to take a job at family law firm, where she meets Tom, the local carpenter. Jackie's distrust of others hinders their relationship, but they slowly build a budding romance. However, as she begins to settle into her new life, disturbing things start happening to Jackie—objects are moved around her house, an indentation of a body appears on her freshly made bed, and a bouquet of wildflowers are inexplicably left by her door. With eccentric residents in the town, Jackie dismisses the oddities, but as Tom's checkered background reveals that his wife and child were murdered, Jackie believes she may be the next target of a sadistic killer. Acclaimed for its strong characters and thrilling plot, MIND TRYST is Robyn Carr's only psychological suspense novel. Delighting fans of suspense since 1993, it will continue to leave readers looking over their shoulders long after they've turned the last page. Robyn Carr is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the VIRGIN RVER novels and the THUNDER POINT series. "Horrifying... This spine-tingling psychothriller will strike a chord with single women everywhere." —Booklist "A seamless suspense novel that guarantees readers edge-of-the-seat drama... A knockout!" —Publishers Weekly "Robyn Carr knows why you read the psychothriller: for the primal scream of terror." —Philadelphia Inquirer



"Once you pick it up, there's no putting it aside... Resonates because it taps into all women's vulnerability and raises issues as hot as the latest session with 'Donahue.'" —New Woman "Move over Hannibal Lecter... A chilling, gripping piece about a cunning psychopathic serial killer... Fascinating!" —Rapport News, Los Angeles
