A Deadly Affection
(2012)(The first book in the Dr. Genevieve Summerford Mystery series)
A novel by Cuyler Overholt
*New, 2026 Edition* After a past family tragedy for which she holds herself to blame, Dr. Genevieve Summerford wants nothing more than to succeed in her new career as a psychiatrist and win the respect of her family and peers. That goal is thrown into jeopardy, however, when one of her patients is arrested for murder—a murder Genevieve fears she may have unwittingly provoked. Desperate to prove to herself and the authorities that the patient is innocent, she is forced to enlist the aid of an influential Tammany captain who was once her family’s stable boy, and whose motives for helping her now are open to doubt. Working in uneasy alliance, the two uncover a long-buried secret that confronts Genevieve with an impossible choice: expose the truth and bring down ruin on those she loves, or remain silent and condemn her patient to the electric chair.
