A disgraced professor, a disenchanted psychologist and a deceitful patient are about to learn more than they expected about each other and themselves.

“The first thing to note about A Killer Secret is that absolutely nothing is predictable….Jeff Berney knows how to craft a suspense story that is as compelling as any Alfred Hitchcock could have shaped. As events in multiple lives move forward in a chess match-style of intrigue, readers will not only find the story replete with surprises, but should be advised that if it’s chosen for late night reading, dawn might arrive before the story’s completed.”
“An addictive, devour-in-one-sitting psychological thriller. Berney’s debut mixes a hefty dose of darkness with mystery and intrigue to create a deeply engrossing psychological suspense….Berney is effortless when it comes to exploring his characters’ inner turmoil while infusing themes of trauma, physical and psychological abuse, revenge, and violence into the tension-filled narrative. With its darkly intriguing, fully fleshed-out characters, taut pacing, and relentless suspense, the novel makes for a winner.”
