DANTE’S INFERNO

Dr. Sylvia Strange Book 4

In Sarah Lovett’s explosive thriller Dante’s Inferno, forensic psychologist Sylvia Strange is pulled from the high deserts of New Mexico into the sweltering, urban chaos of Los Angeles. A city already on edge is pushed to the brink when a devastating bomb detonates at the world-renowned Getty Museum, claiming the lives of a teacher and a young boy.

“A Mastermind or a Scapegoat?”

The evidence points squarely at John Dantes, a notorious anarchist with a history of targeting public infrastructure. Now incarcerated, Dantes maintains his innocence, and Sylvia is brought in to conduct a psychological evaluation. But as she enters his cell, she finds herself locked in a lethal game of wits. Dantes is brilliant, manipulative, and possesses a terrifying knowledge of Sylvia’s own dark past—secrets she thought were buried forever.

As Dantes sows seeds of doubt about his guilt, a second, “copycat” bomber emerges, threatening City Hall and promising further destruction. Sylvia is thrust into a high-stakes investigation alongside the FBI and LAPD, forced to navigate a modern version of the nine rings of hell.
