THE PERFECT PSYCHOPATH HIDES IN PLAIN SIGHT…Dr. Eleanor Spencer is a respected forensic psychologist with a seemingly perfect life. But when a series of women start to vanish, she’s haunted by the memory of her sister’s disappearance and she finds herself drawn into the chilling investigation.
As the body count rises and her paranoia deepens, Ellie is forced to delve into the mind of a monster to uncover the truth. Her work leads her to Lucas Hayne, a notorious serial killer now behind bars. But when Lucas cryptically hints that the key to the killer’s identity lies buried in her past, Ellie’s world begins to unravel.
Because now she faces a terrifying possibility: the real monster might just be closer than she ever imagined.
And with time running out, the price of uncovering the truth may be her own life…
A gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for fans of Mindhunter, Luther, and The Silent Patient.
