    “Disinformation is one of the leading causes of death. If that isn’t true now, I say it will be.” 
      
    For hospital physician Dr. Mark Lin, nothing is more gut-wrenching than saving a life only to see it taken by murder. 
      
    When one of his patients is killed by a suicide bomber blowing up a clinic, everyone points the finger at a group of anti-abortion extremists. Mark, however, knows the killer’s final words and has a different theory about the culprit: a secretive healing cult called the Path to Purity. It seems the only way to get answers and avenge his patient is to join the Path himself. 
      
    Juggling the dual roles of doctor and undercover cult follower, Mark treats patients for ill effects of the Path’s dangerous practices while also proving his worth and advancing along the Path’s ranks. He has only one goal: get close to the mysterious leader known as the Sun Priest and destroy the cult. But the deeper he goes, the deadlier things get. Mark will stop at nothing to uncover the truth, before getting trapped in a heinous plot that could spell devastation on a massive scale. 
      
    Toxic Minds is Anthony Lee’s medical thriller where healthcare collides with disinformation and a hateful mind losing touch with reality is the most dangerous of all.

    Everly Dupree's ex is a criminal, and now the FBI thinks she's his partner.Which
     is just the cherry on top of a week that already includes ghost drama, 
    nosy neighbors, and a suspicious white van parked across the street.She
     might not have wanted to help murdered ghosts with their unfinished 
    business, but Everly used to think she was at least good at it.Until
     Amber Hale—the spunky, throttled-to-death reporter who decided it would
     be more fun to stick around and haunt Everly for the rest of her life. 
    (Which, at this rate, may not be much longer.)Then Everly's 
    ex-husband, Paul, mysteriously vanishes amid (totally true) allegations 
    of fraud, and the FBI starts asking very pointed questions—all aimed at 
    Everly.Suddenly she’s got agents watching her every move, 
    neighbors placing bets on her arrest, and no choice but to dust off her 
    amateur sleuth hat (again) to investigate the very people she’s been 
    trying so hard to forget.To survive the fallout, Everly will 
    have to admit that Amber is as helpful as she is annoying, and accept 
    her ghostly assistance if she wants to make it out of this one without 
    becoming the next headline.Or worse—the next ghost.
