Detective Michael Hale arrives at Maple Glenn just before dawn to investigate a missing patient. The scene is quiet, the protocols followed. In her room, he finds a journal on the desk-and a collection of terrified notes hidden under the mattress.
Written in a frantic hand, the notes tell a different story. They speak of changed faces, medicine that clouds the mind, and reflections that lie. The woman who wrote them claims she is not who her file says she is, and that her keepers are waiting for her to forget herself entirely.
As a storm bears down, Hale must piece together a truth from these fragile scraps. He is no longer just looking for a lost woman. He is trying to determine if he is hunting for a victim, or following the trail of an escapee.
