It's my first day back at work, the grief I'm carrying is still with me, but I file it away and put on my professional face to greet my new patient.
As a successful psychiatrist and criminologist, I'm used to working with damaged minds. But I'm not prepared for Trent Davis. Sitting across the table from me, his warm brown eyes shine. He laughs easily and part of me can't help but like him, despite what his file says he's capable of.
Then a package arrives for Trent, with my home as the return address.
And everything falls apart...
A shocking an unputdownable thriller with a 'didn't see that coming' twist. The perfect read for fans of The Silent Patient, Mike Omer and Freida McFadden.
