The Doctor: An Oliver Perritt Thriller. An Oliver Perritt Thriller, #1

When Avery Hansen awakens, it's not to the warmth of her bed, but to the sterile white walls of an unfamiliar hospital room. Her mind races with fragments of the night before-a gathering of girlfriends at the local bar, laughter echoing in the air amid clinking glasses and upbeat chatter-now drowned by the eerie silence and the pungent scent of antiseptic.  Baffled and increasingly scared, Avery pleads with the nurse to let her leave, but all she hears is, 'The Doctor will see you shortly.' The eerie calmness of the woman, who keeps repeating the same phrase, sends shivers down her spine, making her feel more trapped and anxious by the minute.
 Questions swirl in her mind, but one thing is painfully clear-she is trapped, and the staff shows no signs of letting her leave. Startled to discover she's not alone in the facility, Avery finds other women there, seemingly under the influence of strong medication, behaving contentedly. Puzzled by their altered state and growing increasingly suspicious of the food and medication she's given, Avery questions the true nature of the facility.  Following a traumatic event, Avery's dread deepens as she uncovers The Doctor's malevolent plan.
Her escape becomes a race against time. Every minute spent behind these walls amplifies her fear-she's sure her life's in jeopardy. With danger lurking at every corner, Avery's only hope is to outsmart The Doctor. But can she break free before becoming a pawn in a sinister game she might not survive?
