"He paused inside the house and sucked in a deep breath . . . the scents around him filled his nostrils . . . his favorite image filled his mind. Hadley Dawson."
Dr. Hadley Dawson firmly believes in the "power of transformation -for all . . . not just a select few". Her work as a career psychologist centered around those whose misdeeds had landed them in prison and her success stories were enough to warrant an upcoming book tour. Joining Hadley on those public appearances was a former patient Benjamin Lewis, a man who had spent years in jail for a crime he admitted to committing; now considered a stellar citizen . . . until . . . he becomes a murder suspect, yet again.
Hadley's very best friend was her best friend's husband . . . now before you raise your eyebrows too high, Hadley was divorced and Josiah was a widower. The two had formed a tight friendship centered around a mutual grief following Jules' death. Josiah was also a local detective, and after questioning Benjamin, his skepticism and Hadley's loyalty had the potential to cause . . . for the first time ever . . . a rift between them.
There's absolutely nothing ordinary about this story. Hadley's life is literally turned upside down over and over again as the body count mounts and no one person appears to connect all the dots. As she and Josiah begin to fight an unseen adversary alongside their unspoken feelings for each other, the killer or killers escalate their attempts to run Hadley's reputation and destroy anyone who gets too close.

The mind is a dangerous place . . . especially when you can't trust your own.

When the poster boy for her rehabilitation program is accused of murder, Hadley's conviction begins to crack. Has she been blind to the darkness lurking within those she sought to save?
Detective Josiah Brennan, her late best friend's husband and once her staunchest ally, now questions Hadley's judgment. Their friendship frays as the evidence mounts, forcing Hadley to confront an unsettling truth: her quest to reform criminals may have unleashed a killer.
With her reputation in tatters and her theories in doubt, Hadley races to uncover the truth. But each revelation only deepens the mystery. Is someone orchestrating an elaborate plot to destroy her career? Or is the threat more sinister—aimed at claiming her very life?
In a heart-pounding race against time, Hadley must outwit a cunning adversary before she becomes the next victim. But in a world where minds can be manipulated, who can she really trust?
