Stacy senses it's revenge. Why, what has she done that's so bad? The veiled threats descend as friends ignore Stacy's pleas, is there more to endure? She's a marked woman at the core of a disturbing mystery.

The car crash has left her partner Nick paralysed. Stacy's consumed by guilt and vulnerable to the nasty accusations spreading throughout her community. Someone intends to destroy Stacy's reputation, but she's no sitting duck!

She is bewildered by the malice, what has she done that's so bad? The veiled threats descend as friends ignore Stacy's pleas, is there more to endure? She's a marked woman at the core of a disturbing mystery.

She's abducted. Her assailant has a warped sense of revenge. The search begins in earnest when our detectives, Luke and Imogen conclude Stacy has been "stitched up".

What was the trigger? The most critical question is where can she be? How unhinged is her abductor?

WARNING!: IF YOU HAVE A SENSITIVE DISPOSITION YOU MAY FIND THE THEMES DISTURBING.

H.A Dawson writes "Psychological suspense that twists like a corkscrew". Engaging stories with characters and situations melding together to enthral audiences in a similar vein to "Alfred Hitchcock" style suspense.

Ideal reading if you follow authors such as Robert Galbraith, Ian Rankin, Diane Chamberlain, A J Waines, Val McDermid, Dean Koontz and Jodi Picoult.

H.A Dawson's "MORRISON - ADAMS BRIEF CASES SERIES" - Book 1 of 6

Psychological situations inevitably trigger deception, lies, manipulation and the possibility of violent behaviour. Can you spot those mean streaks behind a golden smile and friendly conversation?

The author's catalogue brims with gripping stories based around determined women, embracing gritty themes with the strength of drama you would expect from the BBC.

They are fighting ... again. Nick is driving, his wife Stacy is a passenger, In the midst of their screaming at each other and he confesses to seeing another woman, their car veers to the side, runs into an embankment and rolls. Then silence. Miracles of miracles .. they both survive. But Nick is paralyzed and Stacy is riddled with guilt. After undergoing surgery which may or may not allow him to walk again, he tells Stacy that he will recuperate at his parents home .... and the girlfriend is the one he wants to be with. Dealing with her guilt, and now coming to terms with the fact that her husband has been cheating on her, she decides not to tell anyone anything other than she and Nick decided it would be best if they split. Unfortunately, most people think she's bailing because Nick is now a cripple. And then the rumors and innuendos begin. Her friends turn away from her. Her colleagues at the high school where she teaches turn away. Someone is purposely trying to destroy her reputation. Then come the threatening texts ... who on earth hates her this much? And then she's abducted .......... This is a well written suspense/mystery. The characters grew on me. Nick was PITA when first introduced, but by book's end, I actually liked him. Stacy needed to listen more and talk less. They were both finely drawn and credible. The suspense of who-dun-it grew until the final chapters. All in all, a very good read. Many thanks to the author for pointing me the way to this book. Read and reviewed voluntarily, the opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

overall the storyline was pretty solid - but the title wasn't at all reflective about the book. with a little more editing and solidifying the meat of the story this could be a four star book. it was an easy read and wasn't predictable.

About the author

H A Dawson is a former software developer who turned to adrenalin pumping adventure activities including windsurfing, paragliding, white-water rafting, land yachting and scuba diving. She now lives with a crazy bunch of animals on a small-holding enjoying fresh veggies, fruit and eggs with some regular exercise including tennis and swimming.

In working mode this author becomes immersed in the 'physically undemanding task of writing mystery-suspense-thrillers.

The psychological perspectives make for intriguing situations emphasising how we never see ourselves as others do. The books will excite, puzzle and entice readers to ask intriguing questions.

Women are prominent characters in H A Dawson's stories, depicting how emotions can be used in a positive way to counteract the wicked and often distasteful facets of modern society.

The men have to be equally resilient which leads to interesting confrontations not excluding differences of opinion. The mystery suspense is encapsulated in realistic and plausible story lines.
