Debut Author MM Desch Delivers a Genre-Expanding Thriller That Blurs the Line Between Psychology, Medicine, and Murder
Rowan Prose Publishing announces the release of Tangled Darkness , a debut psychological-medical thriller by MM Desch that masterfully fuses authentic psychiatry, criminal suspense, and deeply personal stakes. Praised by Midwest Book Review for its "delicate balance between a murder investigation and personal revelations," and shortlisted by Chanticleer International Book Awards, Tangled Darkness introduces a bold new voice in thriller fiction.
When a psychiatric clinic assistant turns up dead, Dr. Leslie Schoen-a respected psychiatrist-is named a suspect. The fallout threatens not just her career but her marriage, her safety, and the life she's built with her pregnant wife, Izzy. As Detective Davis leads the official investigation, Leslie sets out on a dangerous parallel pursuit for the truth. What she uncovers is a network of lies, a prescription opioid ring, and a trail of secrets too dangerous to ignore.
"Tangled Darkness is a twisty thriller with tons of heart," says author and bookseller, Michael Keefe.
With tension that builds like a drumbeat and stakes that climb with every chapter, Tangled Darkness will resonate with fans of Freida McFadden, Lucinda Berry, Patricia Cornwell, and The Silent Patient . MM Desch's professional expertise lends rare authenticity to the psychological and medical elements that ground the story.
As Leslie battles enemies both external and internal, readers are drawn into a gripping portrait of resilience, love, and survival. In the shadowy corners of psychiatric medicine, no one is above suspicion-and the killer may be hiding in plain sight.
