Tangled Darkness

About this item

In a twisted web of lies, she's either the spider or the fly. When a psychiatric clinical assistant turns up dead, Dr. Leslie Schoen finds herself a suspect in the case—and facing allegations which could destroy her career. As Detective Davis works the investigation, Leslie launches her own inquiries. She soon uncovers deception and illegal schemes involving stolen prescription opioids. It seems everyone around her is hiding something, and as she gets closer to the truth, the threats against her escalate. She struggles with keeping dangerous information from her pregnant wife, Izzy, and knows she needs to confront traumatic demons from her own past. But as she delves deeper into a web of lies, one thing becomes clear: someone will do anything to keep their criminal plans in the shadows. With her family and even her life on the line, Leslie must outwit those who want her silenced before it's too late. No one's motives are what they seem, and the killer may be closer than anyone thinks. Fans of Freida McFadden, Lucinda Berry, and Patricia Cornwell will enjoy "Tangled Darkness" by MM Desch.
