Carson's Conspiracy (2012)
“On the way, he found himself giving some thought to Tommy Pride’s notable suggestion. It can’t be said that he entertained it. But he found it stimulating, all the same.
The notion of the Carsons, father and son, as being jointly engaged in financial and other dispositions making possible a simultaneous flight from the tiresomely dotty Cynthia Carson mightn’t stand up to scrutiny, yet it held a certain attractiveness for the speculative mind. Eccentric behaviour is always in some degree inf...ectious. History affords numerous examples of irrational beliefs and senseless conduct spreading from one group or community to another. The same mechanisms are frequently to be observed in domestic contexts, notably in the growth of what psychiatrists call foli à deux. The disorder, Appleby understood, most frequently afflicted sisters, or husband and wife. He wondered whether it ever got going on father and son.
But now a more relevant thought came to Appleby.MoreLess
