TWISTED TRUTH

     

     Dr. Christine McMorrow dedicates her life to helping victims of trauma in private practice and as a consultant to the Maine Task Force on violence.  She believes that truth will prevail, bringing healing. 
   Yet, she still struggles with her own childhood memories which have disrupted her personal relationships and cause her to doubt her own competence.
   Stephen Scott dedicates his life to bringing his perverted truth to the world. Tortured and programmed as a child to believe that the ritualistic murder of women will expose them as innately evil, his mission is to encourage others to follow his path.  
    When Christie disappears, her colleague Detective Bill Drummond and housemate Alex Harris do all they can to find the woman they both love. 
   Tied and wounded, hidden where no one would think to look for her, out-witting her tormentor was her only hope for survival.  Christie knew she would have to fight him with what she did best. Her only defense against the madman was her psychological training and skill, her knowledge of the motivations and behaviors of the criminally insane.
    Can Christie save herself?  Will Alex or Bill find her in time?  Or will Stephen Scott's twisted truth triumph over an innocent woman once again?

 "Christie tried to turn over and found she was in a tight enclosed space. She imagined coffin, a box buried deeply under  the earth.  This was how  she was going to die.  Not by the knife of Stephen Scott after all.  Instead, suffocated to death in a box under the earth where no one would ever find her. "       

                                              

    Forensic psychologist Christie McMorrow and detective Bill Drummond investigate the grisly murders of three young girls.    They discover human traffickers operating a child prostitution ring. 
   Suspecting collusion among the traffickers and law enforcement authorities, Christie and Bill face killer dogs, crooked cops, body parts thieves, and a sociopathic butcher in their search for evidence to indict the conspirators.
   Stephen Scott, a psychopathic killer, brings their search to a horrifying end.  Bill fights for his sanity.  Christie fights for her soul as she struggles to recover from the tortuous post traumatic consequences of Scott's return.
