Matter Held in Abeyance: A Psychological Thriller Exploring Power, Silence, and Moral Complicity
Image: https://www.abnewswire.com/upload/2026/01/0826d8d93d0d7bd9e16d0451d484437b.jpg
Matter Held in Abeyance follows a tense narrative in which ambition operates in the shadows and responsibility is often deferred rather than denied. As alliances form and fractures widen, the story examines how proximity to wrongdoing can be as consequential as committing the act itself. Through layered characters and a slow-burning sense of dread, the novel asks a chilling question: when harm unfolds, who truly bears responsibility-the one who strikes the blow, or the one who allows it?
Known for her incisive reflections on leadership, ethics, and human behavior, Rice-Haynes brings a sharp psychological lens to this work. The novel resonates with readers who appreciate morally complex stories where silence, restraint, and calculated distance are weapons of their own.
"This book is about what happens when people convince themselves that not acting is the same as not choosing," said Rice. "It challenges the comfort we find in plausible restraint-and the cost of it."
Early readers have praised Matter Held in Abeyance for its atmospheric tension, intellectual depth, and unsettling realism. The novel is ideal for fans of psychological thrillers that linger long after the final page.
