Jim probes the suppressed memories of the son of a suspected maniac plaguing the pharmacies of Pittsburgh in Time Release, studies a matriarch caught in the grip of Alzheimer's holding an explosive family secret in Shadow Image, and is compelled to assist a victim so traumatized she isn't sure she can identify her attacker any longer in Straw Men. Barbara Seranella, author of the Munch Mancini series, calls Jim Christensen "a wonderfully unique sleuth [who] tackles the most mysterious setting of all: the Bermuda Triangle of human memory."
