Shadow of Doubt: Dean Mercer Series Book 1: A psychological thriller

By Charles Bolger PhD

A murder in the heart of the city shatters the illusion of order and pulls Detective Dean Mercer into a case unlike any he has faced before.

Haunted by personal struggles and a past he can't escape, Dean finds himself navigating a world where power, influence, and ambition blur the line between truth and deception. As pressure mounts from every direction, he begins to question who can be trusted-and whether some secrets are meant to stay buried.

With old wounds resurfacing and tensions rising, Dean is forced to confront more than just a criminal investigation. The deeper he searches for answers, the more dangerous the questions become.

Dark, atmospheric, and packed with suspense, Shadow of Doubt is a psychological thriller about hidden truths, fractured relationships, and the price of uncovering what lies beneath the surface. Perfect for readers who enjoy gripping mysteries, flawed heroes, and twists that keep them turning pages late into the night.
