Harm reduction : a novel / Todd L. Grande. by Grande, Todd. Unhooked Books, 2021. Call #: FICTION GRA Subjects Counseling psychologists -- Fiction.   Serial murderers -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781950057313 (trade pbk.) Description:  354 p. ; 20 cm. Summary:  "Jenny Ocean's life turns upside down in her late twenties due to a tragic attack, her response to which makes her feel like a criminal, provoking feelings of anxiety. Having seemingly escaped any legal consequences, she uses this experience to better herself by becoming a professional counselor. Initially, her life seems to back on track, but then her past catches up with her in the form of a client named Rio Winston, a psychopathic and narcissistic serial killer who requires Jenny's advice to complete a delusional and homicidal mission. He has rationalized his behavior through a distorted view of religious beliefs and is hampered by obsessive-compulsive symptoms. He demands that Jenny use her counseling skills to help him to be an efficient and successful killer as he tries to kill four more people. Feeling trapped, Jenny begrudgingly goes along with the arrangement. Her complicity further batters her self-esteem as it pulls her to a dark yet exciting place. While balancing crime on one side of her life, Jenny carries on a romantic relationship with a police detective named Sam Longford on the other, only to find that the distance that separates the detective from the killer is not as great as she once thought. Jenny struggles to maintain her own boundaries and sense of self as she vacillates between hating and enmeshing with these two key men in her life. This book journeys into the depravity of serial killing, the pain of ambivalence, the dangers of crossing boundaries, and the process of gaining and losing insight. This is accomplished through examining a series of damaged characters brought together by pervasive and pathological sexual desire, grandiosity, obsessions, and homicidal rage"--From publisher.
