Psychiatrist Leslie Schoen,

trained to help others face their past but removed from her own, finds herself under investigation for stealing workplace opiates. The drugs are reported missing from the safe of Bryce Nelson, another doctor in the practice. Just being accused of theft could imperil her medical license. She decides to ask a coworker what he knows about missing office drugs. But before she can, he’s found dead in the bathtub.

Leslie realizes she’s going to have to solve the murder to clear her name. One homicide detective finds her a prime suspect. But the police are soon the least of her problems. Battling powerful adversaries, professional jeopardy, and the demons of her past addiction, Leslie races to expose the tangled web of corruption. The closer Leslie gets to the sinister truth, the further she finds herself from the new life and family she’s tried so hard to build.

Now caught in a cat-and-mouse game with forces set on burying the scandal by any means, Leslie must walk the line between justice and vengeance before the darkness she’s unearthed consumes everything she holds dear. TANGLED DARKNESS will appeal to fans of Alex Michaelides, Sarah Pinborough, and Ashley Audrain.
