Notorious D.O.C‪.‬

A mother who burns for justice. The doctor who can't say no. And the killer who lies in wait.

Dr. Hope Sze solved her first murder case a week ago—and almost got strangled in the process. Now she just wants to pass her psychiatry rotation. No more Sherlock Holmes-ing for Hope. Ever.

Until her first psych patient says, "My daughter is dead. And somebody killed her."

Hope can't walk away from this grieving mother. Yet how can she solve a murder that stumped Montreal's police department for the past eight years?

Sifting through the cold case, Hope recruits her two hot, brilliant men to their cause, one of them her ex-boyfriend, the other a doctor who could represent her future. Yet as they draw ever-closer to the truth, the killer shifts out of the shadows.

This psychopath has waited eight long years to kill again.

Now Hope must protect not only herself, but two innocent men and a mother who yearns for retribution.

Notorious D.O.C.

A psychological thriller about family ties, revenge, and the outer edge of sanity.
