About this ebook

In the heart of a bustling metropolis, where the line between night and day blurs under the city lights, Detective Alex Mercer embarks on the most perplexing case of his career. With a reputation tarnished by a mysterious incident from his past, Mercer is no stranger to the shadows that linger in the human psyche. Yet, nothing could prepare him for the chilling series of murders that begin to unfold—each victim found in inexplicable circumstances, as if moved by an unseen hand in their sleep.

 

As Mercer delves deeper, the evidence leads to a shocking revelation: all the victims had been part of a cutting-edge clinical trial for a sleep disorder treatment, the same experimental therapy that Mercer himself underwent in a desperate bid to escape the nightmares that have haunted him since childhood. The treatment, lauded for its breakthrough potential, now casts a sinister shadow, suggesting a connection between the sleepwalking murderers and the subjects of the trial.

 

Faced with a conspiracy that threads through the very fabric of his life, Mercer is forced to confront the darkest corners of his own mind. The investigation becomes a harrowing journey through his memories, where the distinction between dream and reality blurs, threatening to unravel his sanity. As the body count rises, Mercer's quest for the truth propels him into the path of the enigmatic Dr. Elena Rowan, the brilliant mind behind the controversial treatment. With Dr. Rowan's motives shrouded in secrecy, Mercer must navigate a maze of lies, betrayal, and psychological manipulation.

 

The tension escalates when Mercer uncovers evidence suggesting that his involvement is not a coincidence but a carefully orchestrated part of the experiment, making him the ultimate target. With time running out, Mercer must use all his detective skills and psychological insight to piece together the puzzle before the killer strikes again, risking everything to confront the unseen adversary who pulls the strings from the shadows.

 

In a climactic confrontation that blurs the lines between hunter and hunted, Mercer faces off against the architect of the nightmare, only to discover a truth more horrifying than any crime scene: the experiment was designed to explore the darkest potential of the human mind, and Mercer's own demons are the key to the final, devastating truth.
