Dangerous Attachments. Dr. Sylvia Strange Psychological Thriller Series, #1

The mind is the most dangerous place to hide. In the high-stakes world of forensic psychology, Dr. Sylvia Strange is a master at navigating the twisted corridors of the criminal psyche. She spends her days inside the walls of maximum-security prisons, evaluating the state's most volatile offenders. But her clinical detachment is about to be shattered. When a series of disturbing events begins to unfold, Sylvia finds herself drawn into a complex web of manipulation and malice.
A former patient, a brilliant but deeply disturbed individual, has developed a terrifying fixation on her. This isn't just a professional challenge anymore; it's a personal hunt. As the boundaries between her professional life and her private world begin to dissolve, Sylvia realizes that her own past may hold the key to the killer's motives. In Dangerous Attachments, Sarah Lovett weaves a masterful narrative of psychological suspense set against the stark, atmospheric backdrop of the American Southwest.
Helping Sylvia navigate this dangerous terrain is Rosie Sanchez, a gritty penitentiary investigator whose street-smarts and humor provide a necessary anchor in a world of growing darkness.
