Description

A Psychological Thriller Novel by Jasmine Effie Malmqvist, Founder of Malmqvist’s Psychology & Forensics

About the book: First book in the international thriller series: The Behavioral Files

A psychological thriller that blurs the line between memory, manipulation, and murder. Memory is the most dangerous witness.

When billionaire tech mogul Rikard Forsberg is found dead in his Stockholm penthouse, the police call it suicide. But forensic psychologist Dr. Elina Vahlström sees something far more sinister lurking beneath the surface.

The only witness — Rikard’s girlfriend, Liv Lindholm is found alive but catatonic, her memory shattered by trauma. As Elina is brought in to unlock the truth buried in Liv’s mind, she uncovers fragments of something deeply disturbing: surveillance, coercion, psychological experiments—and whispers of a clandestine group known only as The Veil.

As Elina delves deeper into Liv’s fractured recollections, she finds herself entangled in a dark web of behavioral manipulation, elite corruption, and weaponized memory. Every clue leads closer to a truth more dangerous than she imagined and every breakthrough makes her a bigger target.

But the human mind is a maze, and some memories are hidden for a reason.

What if the one person who holds the key to the murder… is also the one who committed it?

In the first installment of The Behavioral Files, Jasmine Effie Malmqvist delivers a gripping psychological thriller where forensic science meets the shadows of the human psyche and where justice is anything but clear.
