Second Nature
Allison Walker is an enigma. She is the bright young owner of Rain City Yachts in Seattle, but has another side to her personality. It seems that she possesses a wealth of medical knowledge, the origin of which she can’t explain. She is often tempted to use her knowledge to help people, but one day she goes too far and this temptation lands her in legal trouble.
Allison is diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder and, because of her run-in with the law, is sentenced to mandatory participation in a clinical trial at a prestigious psychiatric institute.
But when she discovers her own misdiagnosis and the true source of her medical knowledge, she learns something even more disturbing: the institute’s executives are hiding deadly side-effects from the FDA and Allison is the only patient left alive with enough knowledge to expose them.

The US Review of Books had this to say about Second Nature:
"Thompson's narrative not only provides well-timed and suspenseful plot twists and turns, it also manages to weave in genetics, psychology, and seafaring alongside often complicated and compelling characters. Thompson's keen ear for dialog yields lively scenes, which help push the well-paced narrative forward, giving readers palatable doses of scientific knowledge together with a story sure to keep them captivated."
