Psychological Techno Thrillers
The Treatment Room
Some truths are engineered.
When police storm therapist Lucas O’Rourke’s office and arrest his client for murder, the client insists therapy guided him. Overnight, Lucas is suspended and branded as the therapist who “shaped” a killer. Searching for answers, he uncovers a detail he once dismissed: the client received treatment at a groundbreaking virtual reality therapy clinic called Pinnacle Therapeutics.
Determined to understand what his patient experienced, Lucas enters Pinnacle as a client. The sessions are immersive and emotionally intense, drawing him back again and again until he can no longer tell whether he’s investigating the clinic or depending on it.
His sister Amara, an ambitious investigative reporter, looks into the suspicious death of a neuroscientist who claimed their father’s dementia was not natural but engineered. Her investigation leads her toward the same company Lucas is already sinking deeper into.
As Lucas becomes increasingly entangled in Pinnacle’s methods and Amara closes in on the truth behind it, they uncover something far more dangerous than the treatment everyone else swears is helping them. Uncovering the truth may force them to question everything they believe—and cost them everything they hold dear.
