Transference

A telepath is a nightmare with a mind like his… Professionally ruined, morally bankrupt and reflexively snarky, psychiatrist Derek Verbenk is a f*ck-up by even his own measure. Major errors in judgment have sentenced the once ambitious doctor to a career handing out prescriptions to rich housewives from his home office in Cherry Creek - until a superpowered new patient turns Verbenk’s life upside down and his soul inside out. Romping through Denver, breaking through barriers of privacy, social isolation and even politics, Transference is an odd-couple quest toward redemption full of wicked humor and radical honesty. Transference was a finalist for the 2017 BookLife Prize, hosted by the indie arm of Publisher’s Weekly, and is a Denver Post Staff Pick. Author Tim Pratt says, Despite some powerful forays into darkness and despair, the book is ultimately about hope, redemption, and making human connections in a difficult world.
