All the Way Gone: A Detective Annalisa Vega Novel BY Joanna Schaffhausen

In the fourth installment of the Detective Annalisa Vega series, The Good Sociopath, private investigator Annalisa Vega is thrust into a perplexing case that challenges her beliefs about morality and psychology. Her client, Mara Delaney, has written a controversial book titled The Good Sociopath, which argues that some sociopaths, like Chicago neurosurgeon Dr. Craig Canning, can be beneficial to society despite their lack of empathy. However, Mara now fears that Canning might not be as benevolent as his public persona suggests.

The urgency of Mara’s concern escalates when a young woman from Canning’s apartment building is found dead after falling from her balcony. Mara suspects Canning's involvement and hires Annalisa to uncover the truth before her book goes public. As Annalisa delves into the investigation, she discovers that the victim had enemies, and multiple people had motives for her death. Dr. Canning’s charm and composure add to the complexity, making it difficult to discern whether he is a skilled manipulator or an innocent man caught in a web of intrigue.

With the police leaning towards an accidental death, Annalisa must navigate a maze of deception and psychological manipulation. As she engages in a tense battle of wits with Canning, she becomes increasingly convinced that the crime was a meticulously planned murder, orchestrated by someone with a chillingly calculated mind. Yet, Annalisa's determination to expose the truth may lead her into a dangerous trap, where winning becomes a matter of life and death. The Good Sociopath is a riveting thriller that explores the dark corners of human nature and the perilous quest for justice.
