Silas West Psychological Mysteries

In a fog-draped town on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula, former military psychologist Silas West has retired to write his memoir—a deep dive into the criminal mind and the invisible wounds that drive people to violence. But when disturbing murders begin to hit the county and the official answers don’t add up, locals start turning to him for help.

With no badge and no official role, Silas is pulled into investigations where motive and memory intertwine with grief, and with the shadows people can’t escape. Each case brings him into a chilling murder in the dark corners of the Pacific Northwest, and each one pulls him closer to understanding others… and farther from hiding from himself.
