From the author of bestselling psychological thriller Born Evil comes a new domestic thriller for fans of Freida McFadden, Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), and Rachel Abbott. A mentally ill woman accused of a murder she didn’t commit. She must prove her innocence while catching the real killer – her son. Schoolteacher Yvonne Landis has escaped from a mental institution, where she was treated for psychosis. Accused of murder, she will stand trial once psychiatrists deem her fit enough to understand her charges. Only Yvonne knows that she didn’t kill her husband; her son Gabe did. Because she was onto him, he tricked the authorities into believing that Mom killed Dad. Having been traumatized in his tweens, he suffers from extreme anger issues. In order to deal with them, he must kill on occasion. Yvonne is determined to prove to everyone that not only did Gabe kill his father, but that he’s the one who’s truly dangerous, not she. That’s easier said than done, considering her fugitive status and the psychotic episodes she still experiences… NOTE: The Cuckoo Series is part of the Yvonne Landis Universe.

CONTROL HIS URGES OR DIE Killing someone doesn’t produce the terrible guilt fugitive Yvonne Landis had thought. That's the takeaway after she shoots her dangerous ex-psychiatrist. But she soon faces other problems. Her son Gabe claims he no longer has to kill bad people to cure his debilitating anger because it’s gone. She demands he still do it in case he’s mistaken. It’s the only way to prevent him from hurting another innocent person. Gabe refuses to go on killing. Yvonne can make him by threatening to turn him into the police; after all, she has his recorded murder confession. She’d rather not as he might respond by killing her, and then no one’s left to help control his urges. Her only other choice is to be creative. But how do you trick someone into killing someone else? She must succeed. If not, all her work trying to save Gabe will have been for naught.

TWO BROTHERS AT ODDS. ONE MOTHER, ONE CHOICE. Fugitive Yvonne Landis is shocked and furious: her 14-year-old son Joey has been brutally assaulted and is in a coma. She can’t wait to avenge him, believing she’s finally able to kill another human being; that is, if you can call the monster or monsters who attacked her baby human. Little does she know that the assailant is her older son Gabe. Gabe himself is devastated over what he’s done. The extreme bout of anger prompting him to attack Joey came out of nowhere and he simply couldn’t stop himself. But what’s the point of telling anyone? It will neither change what happened nor help Joey. He’ll still be in a coma. What’s done is done. Gabe’s suffering plenty as it is. Then, only four days after the attack, much to everyone’s surprise and Gabe’s horror, Joey wakes up… If you love dark suspenseful crime thrillers with murder and mayhem, vigilante heroes with complex characters and strong women, check out my Club Nirvana series.

Yvonne agrees the man deserves to die, but she worries the cops might connect her son to the murder. Figuring out a plan for Gabe to avenge himself is easier said than done. Can she do it?

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT YOUR CHILD? Seventeen-year-old Gabe Landis has issues. Anger issues, due to severe trauma. If he doesn’t address his ever-present anger, he’ll explode. No orthodox methods help him. The only way he gets true peace is when he takes a life. Temporary peace, that is. Yvonne Landis, his mother, has issues too. Not only does she suffer from schizophrenia, but she’s also a fugitive. She was held at a mental institution to stand trial for her husband’s murder. Gabe killed his father, not Yvonne. But she feels so responsible for what he has become that she can’t turn him in despite having unearthed proof he’s the real killer. Instead, she devotes her life to help him deal with his issues. That means she must find someone for him to kill. But can she go through with it?
