"...a narrative that's populated by believable characters and infused
with healthy doses of medical science and psychology. Skull Session
is a story that keeps the reader guessing till the very end."
New York Times Book Review

"Newcomer Hecht spins a sticky spider web of intricate metaphors that boil down to
the fact that appearances are deceiving."Kirkus Reviews

"Gripping and disturbing."Sunday Telegraph

Despite his brilliance, Paul Skoglund hasn't held a steady job for years, partly because
of his Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder that forces his body into wild swings
and to blurt out tragically inappropriate words. When his wealthy aunt asks him to take
on the repairs of her magnificent hunting lodge, he is in no position to refuse. But inside
the lodge lies a mystery involving disappearances and deaths that haunt the region.

Meanwhile, Paul's ex-wife is using his condition to wrest away custody of their young son,
but for Paul, nothing and no one is going to come between him and Mark. Then quickening
events lead him deeper into his family's past, and as Paul faces the darker aspects of his
own nature, he must brave the possibility that in saving those he loves, he might well destroy
himself.
