The Puppet Master - Paperback

by Jeff Sturgeon (Author)

The deeper she fell, the clearer it became...she was never in control.

Detective Penelope "Penny" peppers has spent her life solving puzzles - but nothing prepares her for the mind games that begin when her lover, therapist Jackie Connors, is arrested for murder.

As penny digs deeper, a disturbing trail emerges - a mysterious dvd, hidden cameras, and a web of manipulation that forces her to question everything: her instincts, her past, even her sanity.

Then Lisa enters her life.

Seductive, grounded, dangerous.

Lisa offers stability when Penny is unraveling - but she has an agenda of her own.

Torn between duty and desire, truth and illusion, Penny is pulled into a psychological nightmare where love becomes a weapon...and betrayal may be the final lesson.

In this chilling sequel to Ghost Peppers, nothing is what it seems - and every truth comes at a cost.

A riveting psychological thriller of obsession, deception, and a descent into the mind of a detective caught between justice and desire.
