Never get involved with a patient Especially the one threatening your life
Robert Sutherland seemed harmless enough then Dr. Mason Stevens announced he was closing up his practice. A thrifty mind and an inadvertent best-seller gave him the means to travel. Soon Dr. Stevens is at peace half-way around the world until Sutherland appears. Was it just coincidence the former patient also left San Francisco, and settled in Morocco? Growing hostility convinces Stevens it's time to develop a healthy case of paranoiabecause he never knows when Sutherland might decide to bump into him. "Name of the Stranger" is a contemporary thriller, written in the spirit of Patricia Highsmith, about a mental patient who demands "closure" -- but the hapless psychologist won't close this case without a fight.
