SECRETS FROM THE COUCH, a newly released riveting mystery novel features Cory Cohen, psychologist sleuth. Stolen secrets from her tightly secured office threaten her work and her patients. One is blackmailed, another vanishes propelling her to find the culprit.

(PRWEB) January 17, 2004 --Secrets from the Couch, the second in the Dr. Cory Cohen mystery series offers an intimate view of a psychologists life. Readers are treated to a good dose of intrigue and suspense, and a sprinkle of romance in this fast paced who-dun-it.

Morgan Heller, a strait-laced patient, running for District Attorney is threatened by a midnight phone caller who knows her dirty secret - her fantasy of living as a prostitute - a secret shared only with her therapist. Morgan confronts Cory. Cory tries to dispel her patients fears. Right after the emergency session, Morgan vanishes.

As Cory wrestles with her patients disappearance, the security breach and the potential harmful effects on other patients, events escalate. A patient is blackmailed. Cory is stalked, and her quarters burgled forcing her to escape an unseen enemy and sending her on a spiraling trail of deceit, betrayal, blackmail and murder. Armed with a list of suspects, her psychological skills, a strong will, and a little help from her friends, she learns how secrets were stolen. She finds a way to save her career, her patients lives and heal their emotional wounds.

A genuine page-turner in the best sense. Her years as a psychologist have earned Ceren a look at the darkness of the psyche and human behavior. Psychologist-sleuth - Cory Cohen - is both compassionate and tough. A strong, heartfelt work from a writer we will be hearing a lot."
