Tři univerzitní vědci jsou nalezeni mrtví a jediný podezřelý, Victor Lazar, rumunský přistěhovalec, je okamžitě vzat do vazby. Po nevysvětlitelných událostech, které vězeňské strážné ohrozí na životě, je Victor přemístěn do samovazby, podivné věci se však dějí dál – jeho psycholog spáchá sebevraždu. Alex Madison, psychologický terapeut, který je Victorovi nově přidělen, má podezření, že muž nějakým způsobem ovládá své oběti. Zpočátku to vypadá jako hodně odvážná představa, ale čím hlouběji se Alex noří do studia Victorova podvědomí, tím děsivější realitu odhaluje. Dostává se na stopu tajného experimentování s lidskou psychikou a pachatelé jsou mu nebezpečně nablízku…

A dark, simmering suspense thriller that asks how much we can really trust those closest to us, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Mark Edwards and Sue Watson.
