THE PERFECT PSYCHOPATH HIDES IN PLAIN SIGHT…

The mind is a dangerous place to hide…

Dr Eleanor Spencer is a well-respected psychologist with a seemingly perfect life. But when a series of women start to vanish, it dredges up the nightmare of her sister’s unsolved disappearance and she finds herself drawn into the chilling investigation.

Desperate for answers, she turns to Lucas Hayne, a convicted serial murderer who revels in mind games. But when Lucas cryptically hints the identity lies buried in her past, Ellie’s carefully constructed world begins to splinter.

Because now she faces a terrifying possibility: the real monster might just be closer than she ever imagined.

Ellie has spent her career deciphering the minds of killers—but now, one of them is inside hers.

A gripping psychological suspense about betrayal, courage, and the darkness that can hide behind a seemingly trustworthy façade. Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater and B.A. Paris.
