[A Kendra Swain Thriller 01] • Trick of the Mind

Has an [Alternate Cover Edition](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34873194-trick-of-the-mind)

On the day Kendra turns thirty, she arrives late for a dinner date only to discover she has already come, ordered, eaten, and left the restaurant. It can only mean one thing: she’s losing her mind the same way her mother did decades ago.

Evidence of her growing psychosis pile up with additional memory lapses, complete blackouts, missing time, forgotten purchases, lost valuables, unfounded suspicions, and most disturbing of all, hearing nonexistent rats in the attic and a ghost child crying in the night.

Despite his patient understanding and abiding love, her husband Joel can’t stem the tide. Slowly but surely, Kendra loses touch with reality. Eventually her psychosis leads her into the arms of a stranger who uses her to justify his own twisted mind.

Her worst nightmare comes true when she winds up in a psychiatric ward after pushing Joel down a flight of stairs. Some things, she soon she discovers, are worse than madness.

Trapped in a corner where her very freedom is at stake, Kendra must wrestle with inner demons while fighting her way back to reality.

Erotic, frightening, and dangerous, Trick of the Mind is a mystery within a mystery interweaving murder, madness, and retribution.
