Описание:

Elizabeth Bradley wakes to find herself naked and tied to an unfamiliar bed, surrounded by darkness. She soon realizes she's not alone. A man sits nearby, and although she can't see him, she recognizes his voice. He is the much-respected Dr. Caspar Wilderman, senior psychiatrist, and he wants her to be afraid. Elizabeth is a psychiatric nurse at the hospital where the doctor works, and he has kidnapped her with clear intentions. In the darkness, he kindly explains he needs her for an experiment-their experiment. Elizabeth makes for an interesting subject: virginal and abstaining from drugs or alcohol. She's also brilliant. Wilderman, possibly mad, has chosen Elizabeth to help prove the existence of the Stockholm Syndrome, in which kidnapped victims become enamored with their captors. Theirs is a battle of wits as Elizabeth uses her medical training to play his little game while retaining her virtue. Who will emerge from the naked darkness victorious and step into the light?

Описание:

Cass and Kitty had been married only a few weeks but soldiers have to go where they are sent. Cass' orders took him to France. He looked forward to her letters every day. The letter he now held in his hand was like a punch below the belt. It made his blood run cold. It told him that she was having an affair with the owner of the shop where she worked. Worse still she seemed to think that he would accept it. How could she think like that? Their marriage was not a free for all. She was the only woman in his life and he expected to be the only man in hers. No one else was invited or welcome. Because he loved her he made excuses to himself for her. She must have been lonely. Loneliness does strange things to people. She had been taken advantage of. She had been caught in a weak moment when she was down. He wrote back telling her to end it. She didn't.

His one thought was to get back to Australia and 'counsel' her lover. He would teach the slimy mongrel to leave another man's wife alone.

The war ended, at last. He was the first passenger off the plane in Melbourne. He went to the shop where Kitty worked. He confronted her lover. There was a struggle. Kitty's lover was killed. Cass was charged with murder. The court would have to decide whether her lover's death was accident or design. From the moment of his arrest and throughout the trial Cass remained silent. A group of twelve strangers would decide whether he lived or was to be hanged by the neck until he was dead. Should the jury find him guilty or innocent he would always love his wife.
