Toni Dean: The Black Sadist

By Heather Louise Lawton

With its first publication comes, Toni Dean: The Black Sadist, a novella that defines Heather Louise

Lawton, and Heather Lawton Publishing's mission: transforming non-readers into bibliophiles

through short reads. In this fast-paced novella thriller, criminal psychologist Toni Dean and

Detective Scott McQueen are on the hunt for a sadistic killer who targets married women in

their homes. These housewives ignored their inner consciousness, inviting the monster in. As the

chase intensifies, the doctor, detective, and killer are forced to confront their past and present

circumstances, connecting their emotions to each victim. Their journey layers white-knuckle

suspense onto every page of this psychological thriller. Toni Dean: The Black Sadist is the first

installment of a two-part saga, delivering Toni Dean and the Black Sadist, a persona and a killer,

like no others.
