Pernicious

By Lainie Suzanne

A local murder investigation led by Lt. Patrick Donovan draws the attention of the FBI, immersing him into the heinous and secretive world of human trafficking.

With no leads, the FBI investigation turns toward local fetish clubs. Patrick is torn between duty and family when the club he belongs to becomes a target.

Worlds collide and friendships are tested.
The age-old battle of good vs. evil.
But evil doesn’t always wear a mask.
