BEYOND DARK

Veteran criminal psychologist, Agent Alyssa Rawkesby, has spent her career studying, chasing and arresting the most prolific female serial killers around the world. She delves into the terrifying minds of women who kill, minds that, sometimes, are too similar to her own. They are mothers, daughters, grandmothers and they seem perfectly normal. But as the daughter of two narcissists, Alyssa knows from experience that flawless exteriors can be pure illusion. Sometimes what lurks behind the curtain of eloquence and perfection is most horrifying of all.

 

As she struggles with her own mental disorder and past, she is assigned a new partner – Agent Thayer Volikov. A charismatic Russian tech analyst bursting with empathy and compassion Alyssa lacks. Thayer brings his own questionable past into the picture, slowly brought to light as he and Alyssa take on the Russian mafia infiltrating the streets of Ottawa, Ontario. Thayer must learn how to understand and work with someone so damaged, she has disconnected from the world, while Alyssa finds herself in a position she never thought she’d be: a mentor.

 

Can they learn to work together in the chaos of mobsters and female killers before the damage of corruption and sadistic tendencies tears the city apart? Will Thayer’s sharp, empathetic ways become a tool to not only becoming a brilliant profiler, but to understanding his new partner? And will Alyssa shatter her glass house of isolation and pain with the hope of friendship, both old and new?
