A doctor who suffers for his faith. A detective trapped in a hallucinatory dream. Lobotomies as a cure for sin, and a girl murdered.
I can save you. I can make you perfect.
Out in the decaying west, the town of Bentham is an isolated and god-fearing small town built on faith. Here, sin is an echo of the past. Here, the town transforms you. Their divine cure makes it so. That is, until Belle Rivera is found dead, bloodied in the underbrush, a sprig of hyssop pressed to her lips. An act of ritualistic murder.
Dr. Wayne Sykkes is devout beyond reason, pious and self sacrificing to a destructive extent. Wayne is a man at war with his own soul, acting out the will of a higher power. He will stop at nothing to fulfill his mission.
He selected Corey in hopes of saving him. Because, to him, Corey is dangerous.
Enter Corey Handler Delgado, fallen angel scorned. Violent, unforgiving, recklessly protective. Every night he is haunted in the head, trapped in his own body, ripped apart from the inside. There is sin in his flesh. As a detective he failed to protect. But Bentham is his second chance.
Dr. Wayne Sykkes truly believed he had found the cure for all sin. But then he lobotomized Belle Rivera, and she was found dead.
More will die, if Corey doesn't stop him.
Wayne is losing everything. His town of disciples is falling apart. Corey wants him to see. His eyes deceive him, the town lies. Ghosts speak to him in the shadows of words. The ghosts of daughters lost.
There is a secret echoing in his bones ready to emerge in birth and gore. As he slips away into a blurred reality of hallucinations and deceptions, the doctor takes his hand and leads the way.
He is trapped in his own mind. The cure will save him.
Hallucinatory. Hidden ciphers. No quotation marks. This is a challenging read. Proceed with caution. Consult sample chapters and content warnings. 70k words. 2nd ed. in pocket size!
