The Altruism Effect
A kidnapped psychologist. A murderous warden. There’s more to this prison than meets the eye… Dr. Raine Walsh has a right to be paranoid. The expert psychologist has spent far too much time in the minds of the criminally disturbed, but that’s no reason for her to be drugged and thrown into prison. Raine can’t remember the crime that got her locked up, and she wonders if her growing paranoia has destroyed her sanity… Raine is determined to solve the mystery of her twisted incarceration, but finding allies is a dangerous game. Some of her fellow prisoners are far from innocent, and a guard confides that he’s also been kidnapped and forced to play a role. The problem is that the warden controls the compound with an iron grip.

Detective Jonah Heely’s first case is a chilling echo of the Kitty Genovese murder from 1964.
Despite the victim being killed near plenty of witnesses, Jonah has no leads. Worse, it's soon clear he's tracking a serial killer, and time is running out for the killer's next victims. Noticing similarities between this string of new murders and Raine's unsolved kidnapping case, and with his job on the line, Jonah turns to Raine for help.
Raine seizes the opportunity to help in order to keep the hunt for the Warden alive. Together, she and Jonah must find the killer before he strikes again.
