Medea's Curse

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Forensic psychiatrist Natalie King works with victims and perpetrators of violent crime. Women with a history of abuse, mainly. She rides a Ducati a size too big and wears a tank top a size too small. Likes men but doesn't want to keep one. And really needs to stay on her medication.

Now she's being stalked. Anonymous notes, threats, strangers loitering outside her house. A hostile former patient? Or someone connected with a current case? Georgia Latimer - charged with killing her three children. Travis Hardy - deadbeat father of another murdered child, with a second daughter now missing.

Maybe the harassment has something to do with Crown Prosecutor Liam O'Shea - drop-dead sexy, married and trouble in all kinds of ways. Natalie doesn't know. Question is, will she find out before it's too late?

Anne Buist, herself a leading perinatal psychiatrist, has created an edge-of-the-seat mystery with a hot new heroine - backed up by a lifetime of experience with troubled minds.

Medea's Curse promises a thrilling journey into the complexities of human emotion and the dark corners of the psyche.
