The Child Within

Evil is closer than you think...

We all do things we can't explain. Some blame it on their devilish inner child. But what if one day the wild child within you decided not to take "no" for an answer?

Would you be strong enough to stop it before it was too late?

When a string of macabre fires point to a man who's supposed to be dead, the Mind's Eye Investigators are forced to exhume his tortured past - and their own childhood demons - if they're to catch the deranged culprit before he strikes again.

Edgy, but with a touch of humor and romantic suspense, THE CHILD WITHIN is book two in the Mind's Eye Investigations series. In each book, Psychologist Deanna Young provides criminal profiling for two private investigators dealing with cases that defy normal reasoning.

Get set for a strange ride, indeed ... .

This series is perfect for readers who enjoy novels by Melinda Leigh, Willow Rose, Mary Burton, Matthew Farrell, Rachel Caine, Loreth Ann White and Debbie Herbert.
