About

Dive into two thought-provoking stories of psychological suspense with Nicole Lundrigan and Hye-young Pyun. In The Case Study, Lundrigan explores the unsettling dynamics between a troubled young woman and the psychologist determined to understand her, blurring the line between care and control. Pyun’s immersive thriller, The Law of Lines, follows the parallel stories of two young women whose lives are upended by sudden loss. This compelling conversation will examine the intricacies of perception, and the fragile limits that shape – and sometimes distort – human behaviour.

The shocking new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of A Man Downstairs and An Unthinkable Thing: a twisty, unsettling, and masterfully plotted game of magnetic push-and-pull between two women whose secrets threaten to collide. When Mia was a young woman, she read a magazine article about a murderous teenage girl with a rare and disturbing psychiatric delusion. Fascinated by the details, she sought out the doctor who’d treated the girl, and eventually married him.
