Secrets, scandal, and murder collide in Wendy Tyson’s gripping Killer Image, the first novel in the Allison Campbell Mystery Series.

London, October 2025 – dp books is proud to announce the signing of mystery and thriller author Wendy Tyson and the upcoming release of Killer Image, a sharp and suspenseful mystery that exposes the dangerous cost of reinvention – now available for pre-order.

As Philadelphia’s premier image consultant, Allison Campbell helps others reinvent themselves, but her most successful transformation was her own after a scandal nearly destroyed her career. Now she moves among the Main Line’s powerful executives, wealthy ex-wives, and polished facades built on twisted ethics.

When Allison’s newest client – the teenage Goth daughter of a White House hopeful – is accused of the ritualistic murder of a local divorce attorney, Allison is the only one willing to fight for her innocence. But as she digs deeper into the shadows of Philadelphia high society, Allison confronts not only dangerous truths hidden beneath the city’s glossy surface, but also specters from her own past. And in a world where image is everything, distinguishing what’s real from what’s a facade may be the only way to stay alive.
