Deadly Impulse

Detective Madison Knight Series, Book 6

Some deaths look accidental.
Some are carefully staged.

When a sixty-eight-year-old woman is found dead outside a hospital, slumped in a wheelchair, Detective Madison Knight expects a straightforward case. At first glance, there’s no sign of foul play.

But the evidence tells a different story.

What appears to be an accident is murder. And when two more bodies surface, Madison realizes the deaths aren’t random—they’re connected and deliberate.

Others call it the work of a serial killer. Madison isn’t convinced. She sees something far more dangerous: a pattern driven by motive, not madness—one rooted in long-buried secrets and unresolved resentments.

As the investigation deepens, Madison uncovers truths someone is willing to kill to protect. Lies have been buried. Trust has been weaponized.

And this time, the case cuts closer than expected. Madison’s past resurfaces—and with it, the danger becomes personal.

If she doesn’t see the trap in time, she won’t survive it.

Dark, high-stakes, and thought-provoking—perfect for fans of crime thrillers and police procedurals with strong female detectives.

Book six in the Detective Madison Knight series.
