The Treatment Room
For Fans of Black Mirror, Blake Crouch and Psychological thrillers with a speculative edge
“…eerily unsettling, with a fast-paced plot that keeps you second-guessing every character. It constantly toys with your perception of truth, leaving you questioning who’s responsible and what’s really happening right up to the final page.”
— Melissa Roos, Author of Tennessee Wishes
Some truths are engineered.
When a serial killer credits his therapist, Lucas O’Rourke, for guiding his murders, Lucas’s career ends overnight. Suspended and branded the psychologist who shaped a killer, he refuses to accept it.
Buried in his case notes is a detail he once dismissed. His client was also receiving immersive virtual reality therapy at Pinnacle Therapeutics. To find the truth, Lucas goes in as a patient himself. The sessions are unlike anything he’s experienced. And despite every sign he’s losing himself, he’s convinced he’s one step closer to proving his innocence.
His sister Amara, an investigative journalist, is chasing the suspicious death of a neuroscientist. She discovers a connection to Pinnacle that hits closer to home than any story she’s ever pursued. As she gets closer to the truth, she can’t tell whether she’s the one doing the investigating or the one being manipulated.
Two people hunting for the same answer. Neither of them knows they’re already part of the experiment.

“A taut psychological thriller with deep characters and an ever pervasive atmosphere of dread. The pacing keeps the story moving and the main plot is dynamic and unique.”
— T.D. Severin, Award-Winning Author of Deadly Vision
“I so enjoy a character driven thriller and THE TREATMENT ROOM does not disappoint. Contains three of my faves for a book: murder, mayhem, and manipulation. The author works all three of those elements like a puppet to create a believable and heart pounding story. Loved that it was technical without being overly complicated and (for lack of a better word) techie! Really enjoyed the read.”
— Faye Arcand, author of Inside Outside
“The Treatment Room is fast-paced and you’re questioning every character’s motives. A great read.”
— Joanna Vander Vlugt Author of Spy Girls
“The author took something that could be quite innocent and helpful therapeutically, but instead led us down an entertaining and thought-provoking path of what could happen if the technology was abused… or worse…”
“It was gripping, unsettling, and kept me hooked from start to finish. The pacing was strong throughout, and I never felt bored or tempted to put it down. The atmosphere had a tense, claustrophobic edge that made the story even more immersive.”
“It’s rare to find a character-driven thriller that is actually thrilling.”
“This story pulled me in and kept me engaged from the start, couldn’t wait to see where this story went. Something so innocent can turn into something horrific. I highly recommend!”
“A fast paced psychological tech thriller that keeps you turning the page to see what happens next!”
“Everyone, get this book!! Science that doesn’t strip humanity!”
“The setting of the story was a major factor in what made this such a uniquely suspenseful read.”
