Watch Will Trent on Disney+

The first novel in the gripping Will Trent series from No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author.

When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene, he finds himself faced with one of the most brutal killings of his career. A young woman, Aleesha Monroe, found dead in a pool of her own blood... her body horribly mutilated.

As a one-off killing it's shocking, but it soon becomes clear Aleesha is just the latest victim in a series of similar attacks.

Twenty-four hours later, the violence Michael sees every day explodes in his own back yard. And it seems the mystery surrounding Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried...

Accomplished thriller... Turn of Mind is an incisive, humane exploration of how we can rail against our need for close relationships with others, feeling that they undermine our independence, even as we keep coming back for more

—— Josie Barnard , Times Literary Supplement

Turn of Mind is a difficult read emotionally, but more than justifies the reader's investment with its sublime writing and pitch-perfect plotting. As a drama it is scintillating, but transcends the boundaries of a mere thriller with a stunning exploration of a devastating illness. This is a book of tremendous value
