Dangerous Game. Mallory Burke Mysteries, #1

Mallory Burke, a psychologist and professor in New Orleans, races against time to find her patient, Tom Taylor, who's wanted for his father's murder. Convinced Tom has been set up and may be a victim himself, Mallory clashes with her former flame, Detective Rick Landry, who believes the unstable and violent Tom is on a rampage. As a hurricane barrels down on New Orleans, Mallory's connections with the hospital and police uncover a sinister history linked to the psychiatric hospital where Tom was a patient.
With trust in short supply and danger closing in, Mallory realizes the killer may be closer than she ever imagined. The first book in M. A. Knight's Mallory Burke Mysteries series, DANGEROUS GAME is an atmospheric crime mystery where nothing is as it seems and nobody can be trusted.
