THE MIND GAME

THE MIND GAME is a psychological novel of a higher order. It is an intricate story of intrigue, deceit, love, and, of course, mind games, in which every scene reveals a new and surprising twist. Maxwell Caulfield gives a mesmerizing performance. His portrayal of Oxford student Ben Ashurst, who agrees to participate in an psychological experiment that takes him to Kenya and then finds himself the victim of a conspiracy, is stunning. Caulfield's emotional range perfectly mirrors each character's emotions--those of Ben, the entrancing Cara, and Professor Fieldhead, who runs the experiment at the core of the book, and who tries to control every character, only to discover that even he is not exempt from someone else's mind game.
