Sheila McDaniel thought she was helping people.

Working from home as a crisis hotline counselor gave her purpose, direction—maybe even redemption. But when she meets Karen, a fellow operator with charm and secrets in equal measure, everything starts to unravel.

Calls blur into paranoia. Rules are bent, then broken. And Karen's voice becomes louder than her own.

As Sheila spirals into delusion and fear, she turns on the only good man in her life—her husband, Paul—using the very training meant to save lives to destroy his.

By the time she sees the truth, it may be too late.

And some escapes don't lead to freedom... they lead to the end.

Hotline of Hell is a haunting psychological thriller about trust, madness, and how far we'll go to believe the lies we need.
