Maryland Author Debbie A. Duran Releases Debut Psychological Thriller, The Monsters Among Us.

Towson, Maryland Nov 7, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Set in Jamaica and the Baltimore area, the psychological thriller follows Keisha Kingston, a Jamaican-born attorney whose seemingly secure life is shaken by revelations about her family's past.
