Publisher's summary
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.
This is the ultimate audiobook for fans of:
• Sport thrillers
• Sports dramas
• Sports psych thrillers
• Dark sports secrets
Dive into the twisted world of Headcase and discover why listeners are raving:
• A James Bond of psychology! “This action-packed novel challenges the stigma of seeking help for mental health. Dr. Beck is like the James Bond of psychology.”—Reedsy Discovery

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Story
A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. For years, the group has struggled to break even. To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place.

At first, the request seemed simple - sign a new athlete to the agency. Then I found out the new athlete was none other than the most wanted man in hockey today: Hunter Maddox. Gifted. Sexy. At the top of his game. And the only man who has ever broken my heart. If signing him will help save our family business, I’ll swallow my pride and do what’s asked. But when it becomes clear his uncharacteristic antics off the ice are a hint of something deeper, keeping things strictly professional between us becomes more than complicated. But I know better than to cross that line.

I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.

Story
We come from two different worlds. I’m from the streets. She might as well live in an ivory tower. I made my living with my fists. I doubt she could even throw a punch. Our paths never should have crossed. We never should have met. That doesn’t change the facts. I would sell my soul to taste those red lips. Fight the devil himself to hear her laugh. Burn in hell to have a single night. Scarlett Priest shouldn’t even know men like me exist, but sometimes temptation is stronger than will. If this is how I go down, it’ll be worth every second of the fall.

Fabulous Story Excellent Writer
If you are searching for a book that you can sink your teeth into, I highly suggest Headcase by Chris Jones. There are so many books these days that merely tell a story, and some are merely interesting or captivating reads. Such books rate between a 3–4-stars, but what brings a story to a 5-star rating lies within its depth. It should not only tell a good story but have interesting, three-dimensional characters, subliminal meaning that connect characters and events, and an author who possesses the art of interesting diction and crafty story-telling skills. Headcase enjoys all of these qualities. The protagonist is a sports psychologist with issues that are similar to those of his clients and while he’s able to help them, he is oblivious to his own flaws. The characters are so well-developed I couldn’t help feeling as though I knew them… I could certainly see them vividly. The narration is also of 5-star quality. I am amazed at how many accents and different voices P.J Ochlan is able to master. One final note is that you don’t have to be into sports to enjoy this book. While it’s about a sports psychologist, there are few play-by-play scenes. This is an enthusiastic five stars!!!
