Before becoming a psychological thriller & crime fiction author, Suzan Denoncourt built a career as a business executive immersed in high-stakes decision-making, complex power dynamics, and the quiet consequences of choices made behind closed doors. That world, where appearances often mask deeper truths, continues to shape the stories she writes today.
Her character-driven novels explore the questions that most compel her: what people hide to survive, what silence costs, and what happens when the truth finally demands to be seen. Designed to pull readers into a slow-burn unraveling, where every revelation carries consequences, her stories boast layered investigations, fractured memories and moral gray areas where right and wrong are rarely clear.
About the stand-lone interconnected Cisco series:
Detective Max Cisco is the common thread throughout, but never the central figure. Weaving his investigation - and his humanity - into the broader plot heightens the level of intrigue and gives voice to experiences too often left unspoken.
More novels in the series are forthcoming, each continuing the exploration of survival, deception, and the irreversible power of the truth.

As for what Cisco learns, it’s enough to make this first homicide investigation his last.
