A Question of Balance

For Dr. Steven Gold, a single patient may unearth the truth behind a murder—and himself.

A Question of Balance is a cerebral and emotionally charged mystery that examines the fragile terrain of guilt, belief, and the cost of self-knowledge.

A Question of Balance is a philosophical psychological murder mystery exploring the unraveling mind of therapist Steven Gold after an enigmatic new patient reveals unsettling truths.

Blending the taut intensity of a therapy thriller with the layered depth of literary fiction and the moral complexity of a murder investigation...

With echoes of The Silent Patient and The Secret History, A Question of Balance explores the fragile boundary between analysis and obsession—and how even a mind trained to heal can lose sight of itself.
