Headcase: Shock & Denial

A Sport Thriller You Won't Put Down…
He's the fixer for the world's most elite athletes. But his own mind is his biggest threat.
Dr. Andrew Beck is the golden boy of sports psychology. He's a celebrity shrink, the go-to whisperer for millionaire athletes battling trauma, addiction, and the crushing weight of expectation. From violent hockey stars to reckless power forwards, Andrew coaxes them back from the brink and into championship form.
He's got the perfect life: a beautiful wife, a house in Greenwich, an office on Central Park West, and a front-row seat to the world of professional sports. But beneath the veneer of success lurks a darkness Andrew can't outrun.
Haunted by the ghost of his own shattered athletic dreams and the twisted legacy of his abusive champion golfer father, Andrew finds himself drawn to a high-stakes world far removed from therapy sessions. A world of illegal gambling rings, ruthless operators, and a dangerous secret that could shatter his entire life.
A desperate wager. A brutal murder. A game of life and death played with the highest stakes.
Headcase: Shock & Denial is a gripping sport psychological thriller that plunges you into the dark underbelly of professional athletics. It's a story of ambition, betrayal, and the demons that lurk behind the bright lights of victory.
