Some towns keep secrets. Others are built on them.
- Winner, Literary Titan Gold Book Award, 2026
In the fog-shrouded seaside town of Full Moon Cay, two teenagers vanish without a trace. When Tommy Jurczyk is found alive days later-with his memory completely erased-the relief is short-lived. Soon after, a fisherman pulls the brutally tortured body of Tommy's best friend, Bobby Portilla, from the ocean.
Veteran detective Al Esposito knows this isn't a simple murder. As whispers of strange figures in the mist and unexplained nights along the coast surface, the case begins to point toward something darker-and far more dangerous-than anyone is prepared to face.
At the center of it all is Tommy, a gender-fluid teenager struggling to understand who he is while grappling with guilt, fear, and a past he can no longer remember. As the investigation deepens, long-buried secrets rise, the town's calm exterior fractures, and a malevolent force tightens its grip.
Blending supernatural horror, a gripping whodunit, and a powerful coming-of-age story, Identity is a haunting exploration of friendship, trauma, self-discovery, and the cost of buried truths. Atmospheric, emotionally resonant, and deeply unsettling, this is a novel that lingers long after the final page-culminating in a shocking, revelatory ending readers won't forget.
Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers, dark mysteries, and character-driven stories with LGBTQ themes.
