Beschreibung

When the true crime podcaster investigating a serial abduction case becomes the prime suspect, the only witnesses who can prove her innocence are the ones living inside her mind. Sam Locke built a true crime empire on The Locked Room podcast, solving cold cases that law enforcement abandoned. Two million subscribers trust her instincts. But when she reopens the chilling Collector Cases-five children abducted in the 1990s and released with no memory-Sam discovers something horrifying: pages of podcast script she doesn't remember writing, detailing a sixth victim who was never reported. Then a survivor from her latest episode turns up dead with Sam's unreleased audio playing at the crime scene, containing details only the killer could know. The FBI raids her studio. The evidence is damning. Sam has been surveilling survivors for months during blackouts she can't explain. But Sam isn't working alone-and she doesn't know it. Living with dissociative identity disorder means Sam shares her life with Samira, a fierce protector who's sabotaging the investigation; Key, a ten-year-old alter holding twenty-eight years of buried trauma; and The Producer, who's been conducting a shadow investigation no one was meant to discover. As the psychological thriller deepens, each alter holds fragments of a memory Sam's consciousness shattered to survive: the truth about what happened during six weeks in 1996 that created her fractured mind. The domestic suspense escalates when Sam realizes her trusted consultant-retired detective Raymond Pierce-isn't helping solve the case. He's the predator they've been hunting, and he's been studying Sam's disorder, manipulating her switches, framing her system for murder. >What readers are saying-"Finally, a thriller that respects mental health AND delivers suspense. ". ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"I was terrified this would exploit DID for shock value, but instead it shows how dissociation can be both survival mechanism and investigative superpower. The message that fragmented doesn't mean broken. Powerful. And the mystery itself is absolutely gripping from page one. "A groundbreaking exploration of fractured memory and survival. ". ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐>>This is a standalone novel in The Unreliable Witness Perception Series. Each book can be read independently
