Psychologist Maggie Connolly didn’t choose a normal life—trouble chose her. Raised by humanitarian yet morally flexible parents who often skirted the law to do good, Maggie knows that right and wrong don’t always align with legal boundaries. Helping people escape abusive situations, even by bending the rules, was just part of growing up.
So when her new client, Tristan Simms, presents with a strange and troubling condition, Maggie doesn’t panic right away. He claims to be a sleepwalker with no memory of his nighttime actions, but the wounds on his hands and the grime under his nails suggest otherwise. He insists the police are watching him and admits to profiting from other people’s secrets—delusional, or something darker?
Her professional skepticism starts to crack when bodies begin turning up, their deaths eerily coinciding with Tristan’s supposed sleepwalking episodes. As the evidence mounts, Maggie realizes she’s entangled in something far more sinister than she could have imagined.
With the body count rising and danger closing in from every side, Maggie finds herself running out of options—and time. It becomes horrifyingly clear that she may be next, and the only connection between the victims is her enigmatic, dangerous patient, whose secrets run as deep as the blood under his fingernails.
