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 that 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. Everyone around her appears to be concealing something, and as she approaches the truth, the threats against her intensify. 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.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A few years ago, after ending a long career, I started an extensive journaling project inspired by the author Caroline Myss. The exercise brought me through a life review. I was drawn especially to those moments I called ‘choice points’—where I experienced a significant perspective shift that led to life-changing decisions. My journaling shifted into a story outline where I knew the beginning and ending of the book. I was inspired to write fiction, and a close writer friend encouraged me. At some point, after hours of dedication to the project, I knew I’d want to pursue publication.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters started talking to me as I wrote in my journal. I had been taking some drawing classes, and so I started to sketch them out and eventually made "character boards." These were poster-sized summaries of the character's sketch with written areas such as physical characteristics, motivations, goals (wants), needs, fatal flaws. For the major characters, I drew out a character arc, penciling in what I thought might happen at various plot points. I was a lot of fun!
