Walter Wild Releases Psychological Thriller ESCAPE FROM PARADISE

Sometimes good intentions aren't good enough. In his new psychological thriller Escape from Paradise, author Walter Wild explores a world of deception and cover-ups despite the best intentions.

"It's sort of this catch-22 when you're striving for something so relentlessly, you forget to think about what you're giving up to get there," says Wild.

Wild, a retired psychologist, also pulls back the covers of his industry in the story, which follows conflict between two psychologists.

Set against the backdrop of Hawaiian cliffs and seascapes, the protagonist uses murderous means to achieve an end, complicating what at first glance appears to be paradise.

The story, based on true events, also explores themes of absolutism and consequences.

"It's a thriller driven by ideas, and those are the best kind," says William Martin, New York Times bestselling author, about Escape from Paradise.
