Sponsored by Delusions of Clarity, by Vern Bryk.
Karl Jommers is a down-to-earth police psychologist. After a cop is shot, Jommers must evaluate the two police officers involved. Both offer conflicting accounts, but neither is lying. Their divergent perspectives are blurred by their personal anxieties. One sees local corruption, the other a government conspiracy. Jommers tries to disentangle the discordance, but he can’t square their differing views without first finding the truth. But stepping outside his domain to investigate may jeopardize his practice and his life. While trying to correct the distorted views of others, he’s forced to question the clarity of his own perception.
