The Very Thought of Murder

A young woman is brutally murdered.
The obvious suspects all have motives.
The real killer doesn't even understand his own.
When Shannon Channing is found dead in her home, homicide detectives Marc Hussmann and Rosie Alvaro believe they are investigating another domestic homicide. But the evidence leads them somewhere entirely unexpected—to Wesley Duncan, a troubled parolee whose fragmented memories and unsettling behavior raise more questions than answers.
Wes remembers holding the knife.
He remembers wanting revenge.
He doesn't remember why.
As detectives race to untangle truth from delusion, they uncover a web of manipulation that blurs the line between guilt and innocence and forces them to ask an impossible question:
Can someone be driven to commit murder without ever understanding whose thoughts they're acting upon?
A gripping psychological thriller filled with unforgettable characters, relentless suspense, and shocking twists, The Very Thought of Murder will keep readers guessing until its final pages.
