The Perfect Denial (The Perfect Trilogy)

She should have stopped listening weeks ago.

FBI Agent Chloe Ryder discovered the recordings in the basement of a house that belonged to a dead therapist. Twenty cassettes. Fifteen years of sessions. A patient who described things she shouldn't have known, in a voice that became more familiar with every tape.

Now Chloe sleeps in the therapist's bed. Wears her clothes. Drives her car. Reads case files in the chair where the therapy sessions happened. She tells herself it's the investigation. Everyone else has stopped believing her.

The recordings led her to a psychiatric facility four hours upstate. A new night doctor has arrived there. Overqualified for the role. Polite to the staff. Patient with the patients. Three weeks in and one of the patients has stopped speaking.

Chloe is going to walk through the front door of that facility and ask to speak with the doctor.

She is not going to walk back out.

A psychological thriller about identity, obsession, and the women who survive institutions by becoming them—perfect for readers of Gillian Flynn, Patricia Highsmith, and Freida McFadden.

Please note: The Perfect Denial is book II of a trilogy that must be read in order. The Perfect Therapist is book I.
