“I got totally swept up in reading this.”
-Laura Williams, Greene & Heaton Agency

“Like Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island, this psychological mystery has us constantly guessing . . . and always surprised. Throw in some truly special prose and we’ve got ourselves one hell of a novel.”
-Joe Walters, Washington Independent Review of Books

Daniel Reed has written the ending to many lives. Tonight, he’s decided to end his own—until a stranger calls and lures him into a world where he doesn’t belong.

As the stranger begs for the help of a detective named Stillman, Reed sees a chance to redeem himself for the fatal mistakes of his past. He can save this man, but only as Stillman.

One false identity later, Reed finds himself in a nightmare of cult-like communities, hidden betrayals, and sociopathic human experiments. And the man who started it all has his sights set on the people of New York City.

Struggling to save those he swore to protect from a brilliant monster, Reed learns that his involvement in the case may not be an accident at all.
