The Blue Journal: an explosive blend of suspense, intrigue and erotica. In her diary, Elizabeth Knoebel was recording the explicit details of her sexual adventures with various men, many of whom were married to the women in her therapy group. A predator bent on seducing and, in some instances, humiliating her victims, Elizabeth was obsessed with her perverse mission. Now that she has been murdered, the secrets of her blue diary are revealed a layer at a time in this gripping mystery with erotic and psychological overtones. Heading up the investigation into Elizabeth Knoebel's murder is Lieutenant Anthony Walker. Formerly a New York City cop, Walker is a man with his own issues, who now serves on the police force of an affluent community in Fairfield County, Connecticut. He lives among the privileged gentry, where he understands that appearances are often far removed from reality. As Walker untangles the steamy secrets of Elizabeth's memoir, the threads begin to converge on her psychotherapist. He becomes convinced that Elizabeth’s killer is another of Randi Conway's patients. But which one?

L.T. Graham is my pen name while I keep my identity under wraps. In reality, I am a New England-based suspense writer, and the author of several successful novels.

Review from Jon Land, USA Today, bestselling author of Strong Darkness:
“…A taut, twisty, and terrific psychological thriller about what happens when the curtain is pulled back on affluent suburbia. Featuring a terrific hero who’s like Robert Parker’s Jesse Stone on steroids, it will leave you closing the blinds even while wondering if anyone is trying to peek through them. Brilliantly conceived and wondrously timely.”

Amazon.com Review from "Deborah B." on 3/18/2015
"Wow what a great mystery/thriller. I can honestly say that this is one book that I did not figure out who the killer was before the author did the big reveal. My opinion on who it was jumped back and forth throughout the whole book and boy was I way off. I found myself laughing at the group sessions as they were very easy to imagine."
