The Expert Witness (Jill Rhodes Mystery/Thriller Series Book 1)

She’s a psychologist. He’s a cop. Theirs is a dangerous, chilling murder investigation . . .

In the corridors of the mind, lie grim truths more perilous than any crime scene. Enter the world of Dr. Jill Rhodes, a psychologist whose tranquil practice is interrupted by the desperate plea of an attorney client. She’s never before explored the criminal mind, yet she is immediately drawn into a case that could redefine her life’s work. Shaun, a special needs teen, stands accused of a gruesome murder, that of beautiful, teenage Katie, his best friend, and the only light in his dark world.

Detective Nick Webb stands resolved with a case closed, until Dr. Rhodes steps in with revelations too piercing to ignore. Her insights force the case wide open, casting a glaring light on truths that were previously overstepped. Together, Webb and Rhodes plunge into Shaun’s world, only to discover a pattern as disturbing as the boy’s presumed guilt. Jill’s probing mind soon unravels Katie’s life of secrets, filled with threats that point to a sinister narrative.

As the indictment approaches, the stakes soar. Dr. Rhodes must sift through the chaos of lies, her psychological acumen the only weapon against further injustice. Is Shaun the tragic author of his own grim story, or is he the pawn in a game played by a more nefarious force?

With multiple threats closing in, Jill and Detective Webb must unmask the true villain. Before time runs out and someone else dies.
