About this audiobook

Summary

Eighteen months ago, forensic psychologist Marion Geary recommended custody of seven-year-old Tilda Raeburn to her mother. Now the father has fled with the child, and someone is slipping sealed envelopes under Marion's door—anonymous clinical profiles that dismantle her professional judgment piece by devastating piece. Digging into her own case files, Marion uncovers a history of abuse she should have caught, buried beneath test results that were too perfect to be real. To protect a little girl, she may have to destroy everything she's built.
