CONTROL- the novel By David Cobb and Frederick Wiegand CONTROL is a psychological thriller of spiritual and cosmic dimensions. A faith-based psychological clinic in Seattle is the target of a powerful enemy who plans to subvert the clinic to serve his own diabolical ends. The battle lines are drawn between the forces of good and evil as the clinicians of Theopsych find themselves enmeshed in a powerful eternal conflict: Han Young, a recent college graduate with upright character and morals, is hired as an intern precisely for his virtuous qualities, which quickly are put to the test. Kelly Rourke, a fellow clinician, struggles between her personal and professional life—her sister is in need of professional guidance, while her peace of mind is disturbed by her unexpected feelings for new co-worker Han. Dr. Leo Denton and Dr. Karl Moyle, the heads of the firm, strive to instill godliness in their staff while concealing deep dark secrets of their own. Dice Jarvis is an investigative reporter on the trail of a University of Washington professor who has mysteriously vanished, and whose disappearance has evident ties to Theopsych…. CONTROL is a novel that will entertain and enthrall, with a compelling multi-ethnic cast of characters and a tightly-woven plot set against the background of the Northwest’s most iconic metropolis.
