Shadows of Love, Betrayal & Murder is a psychological crime thriller written by award winning filmmaker, Jillian Bullock. This is Jillian’s first novel in this genre. 


When forensic psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tigger assists Philadelphia police on a serial killer case targeting men, the investigation takes a shocking turn: evidence at every crime scene points to her. Plagued by blackouts and missing time, Jennifer is forced to confront a terrifying possibility—that she may be the killer she’s hunting. The most disturbing truth of all—every victim was once her lover.


Dark, provocative, and psychologically intense, Shadows of Love, Betrayal & Murder explores how trauma distorts memory and how love can become lethal—perfect for readers who crave smart, twist-driven thrillers with complex female leads.
