Speaking Evil

Words can manipulate minds and mobilize armies. They have the power to unite and to destroy.

No one understands this better than Carter Wainwright, a cult leader who murdered Detective Samantha Reilly's partner ten years ago then vanished. Wainwright has resurfaced in Fall River, and his influence is stronger than ever. The charismatic psychopath has never had a problem attracting fanatics to his sadistic causes, but now even the most unlikely are falling victim to his voice.
After an attack at a psychiatric care facility where friends of her foster son, Michael, reside, Sam begins investigating the hospital and its mysterious new doctor. The clock ticks down as her investigations intensify.

The stakes have never been higher as she tracks down the most dangerous foe she's ever faced, not knowing who she can trust. But can she hunt a killer and keep Michael and his friends safe while a killer hunts them all?
