When Nico Goldberg checks himself into Renewal Springs Psychiatric Clinic, he claims he's hearing voices.
He doesn't mention that the voices belong to the dead-or that they're all former patients.
Dr. Christopher Brennan has built his reputation studying people like Nico, isolating the neurological abnormalities that allow them to perceive what others cannot. But inside Renewal Springs, treatment is only a euphemism. Gifts are extracted. Memories are weaponized. And patients who prove too extraordinary rarely survive.
As Nico uncovers a covert research network built on decades of silenced deaths, he realizes the spirits within him are not symptoms-they are witnesses. And Brennan has just discovered that Nico may be the most valuable subject he's ever encountered.
To expose the truth, Nico must let the dead inside him rise.
Patient X is a literary supernatural thriller about inherited trauma, institutional power, and the thin line between haunting and justice.
For readers of The Silent Patient, Mexican Gothic, and The Outsider.
