Did anyone else notice what books were on Bens bookshelf in his tent?

The only one I could see was "The Oath" by John lescroart. Couldn't really find much about it on Wikipedia. The plot summary on Amazon reads

With their reputation for rolling up hefty profits while doling out penny-pinching care, HMOs have emerged as a favorite villain of crime writers. Lescroart gets in his licks with this scalpel-sharp thriller, the ninth in the Dismas Hardy line. This time around, the San Francisco attorney finds himself representing Dr. Eric Kensing, who stands accused of murdering his boss, Tim Markham, the CEO of the Parnassus Medical Group, a struggling HMO providing health services to all the city's employees. An autopsy shows that Markham, hospitalized in critical condition following a hit-and-run, died not of his injuries but of a potassium overdose. It doesn't look good for Kensing. Not only was he the doctor on duty, but he had plenty of motive; his wife was having an affair with Markham. As police investigators, led once again by Lt. Abe Glitsky, home in on Kensing, the case veers in another direction. The police discover that Markham is actually the 12th person to have been killed recently while under Parnassus's care. And Kensing can't be blamed for all of them. The investigation leads police and Hardy to a multitude of suspects, most connected to Parnassus's zeal for ruthless cost cutting. Burdened at times by Hardy's musings and a few awkwardly placed clues, Lescroart's latest featuring the cunning, self-effacing attorney and dedicated family man is still a skillfully researched and executed piece of work. The author wisely steers clear of taking cheap shots at the HMO industry, yet manages to direct a sharp beam into some of its darker crevices. Fans of the popular series should know that there are no courtroom scenes, unusual for the trial-prone Hardy, but Lescroart manages to squeeze in almost every member of his usual large and always entertaining cast. (Feb. 4)Forecast: The reliably excellent Lescroart carries on, delivering yet another winner. A massive ad/promo campaign including the simultaneous release of the paperback edition of The Hearing, a 10-city author tour and a one-day laydown should swell the already well-populated ranks of his fans.

I assume the oath of the title refers to the Hippocratic oath. So is this a reference to Christians tardiness with the pregnant lady. A hint at forthcoming Jack storylines?

Dunno if anyone else saw what other books were on the shelf.

I tried to freeze frame the scene but even then, the images were blurred.

P. S. Ben's tent was so "Hemingway-ish." I almost expected to see a victrola playing in the background.

Found the second book in from the left. It was upside down.

The bottom of the spine are the words Farrar Giroux and Straus which are actually the publisher of the book. Throwing this into google constantly throws up the same book entitled "Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory" The summary describes it thus:

In 1896, Sigmund Freud presented his revolutionary “seduction theory,” arguing that acts of sexual abuse and violence inflicted on children are the direct cause of adult mental illness. Nine years later, Freud completely reversed his position, insisting that these sexual memories were actually fantasies that never happened. Why did Freud retract the seduction theory? And why has the psychoanalytic community gone to such lengths to conceal that retraction? In this landmark book, drawing on his unique access to formerly sealed and hidden papers, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson dares to uncover the truth about this critical turning point in Freud’s career and its enduring impact on the theory and practice of psychoanalysis.

The Assault on Truth reveals a reality that neither Freud nor his followers could bear to face. Bracing in its honesty, gripping its revelations, this is the book that prompted Masson’s break with the psychoanalytic community–and launched his subsequent brilliant career as an independent thinker and writer.

I've listed the choices for John Lescroart's novel on the shelf

John Lescroart The ??

The VIG (1990)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/vig.htm

The 13th Juror (1994)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/13th-juror.htm

The Mercy Rule (1998)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/mercy-rule.htm
Sal Russo's body is found, with a "Do Not Resuscitate" note. Dismas Hardy finds himself as Graham Russo's defence. How long can Russo protest innocence, when it's discovered Sal wasn't penniless, and all San Fransisco is intent on making the apparent mercy killing media issue of the year?


The First Law (2003)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/first-law.htm
Defense attorney Dismas Hardy and Lieutenant Abe Glitsky rejoin forces to help John Holiday, an old friend and client of Hardy's. Unfortunately, a band of rogue cops has already targeted Holiday as a cold-blooded killer worthy of vigilante execution. Instead of merely tracking culprits, Dismas and Abe must now fight hard just to stay alive. The author of The Oath delivers another gripping novel.

The Motive (2004)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/motive.htm
Hardy and Glitsky are embroiled in a murder that begins in the upper echelons of San Francisco society, where money and political influence collide. . . .

It starts with a double homicide. Because of the high profiles of the victims—a politically connected socialite and his glamorous fiancée—the mayor of San Francisco herself demands that a high-ranking detective be put on the case. And so Abe Glitsky is thrust into the controversial investigation.

The Second Chair (2004)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/second-chair.htm
Dismas Hardy is finally on top: As a managing partner at his thriving, newly reorganized law firm, he's a rainmaker and fix-it guy for clients leery of taking their chances in a courtroom. Now Hardy's up-and-coming associate, Amy Wu, brings him a high-profile case: Andrew Bartlett, the seventeen-year-old son of a prominent San Francisco family, has been arrested for the double slaying of his girlfriend and his English teacher. The D.A. wants to try him as an adult. Determined to get the case into juvenile court and overwhelmed by the mounting evidence against her client, Wu asks Hardy to sit second chair for her in Bartlett's defense.

The Hearing (1999)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/hearing.htm
Hardy's best friend, Lieutenant Abe Glitsky, has kept a secret from him...and everyone else. Hardy never knew that Abe had a daughter-until she was shot dead. It seems obvious that the heroin addict hovering over her body with a gun is the guilty party, and Glitsky has few qualms about sweating a confession out of him. But there is more to this murder-much more. And as both Hardy and Glitsky risk their lives to uncover the truth, others are working hard to stop them.

The Oath (2002)
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/john-lescroart/oath.htm
Doctor Eric Kensing is living in fear that he is about to be indicted for the death of a patient. That patient was his boss, Tim Markham. But Kensing and Markham aren't just connected by work - Kensing's wife is one of Markham's many lovers. It's not looking good for Kensing, so he enlists the help of lawyer Dismas Hardy. Some say Kensing is not worth saving, although others say that Kensing is a special doctor, prepared to do anything to save a patient's life, even defying proper medical procedure. Despite all the damning evidence, Hardy becomes increasingly sure that Kensing is innocent. Against mounting pressure for an arrest, Hardy knows that the only way to save Kensing is to find the real murderer. And like Kensing, he seems to be working within a system that is set up to thwart him and any attempt at real justice...
