About the Book

Parker Grant has built his life around control. A young therapist in Atlanta, he keeps a meticulously organized home, a carefully maintained image, and just enough distance between himself and the problems of the couples he counsels.

Then one of his clients turns up dead—in Parker’s own condo. The man was attractive. Parker knew it. Worse, their boundaries had already begun to blur. Now Parker is left with a night he can’t fully remember and questions he isn’t sure he wants answered.

When a mysterious package arrives at his office containing a bloodied watch and incriminating photographs, Parker realizes someone knows more about that night than he does. As secrets surface and people he trusts begin manipulating the truth, his curated life gives way to paranoia, obsession, and doubt.

Someone is playing a game with Parker’s memory. But what if Parker is playing one with himself?

As the line between victim and suspect begins to disappear, Parker must uncover what really happened before he loses his career, his freedom—or his grip on reality.
