He can relive the final moments of the dead... but each glimpse into their past steals a piece of his own.
Detective Alex Mercer has a secret: when he touches the dead, their memories flood into him-terrifying, fragmented, and all too real. It's a gift that helps him solve the unsolvable. But it's also a curse that's slowly unraveling his sanity.
When a string of ritualistic murders plagues the city, Alex and his sharp-witted partner Maya Reyes dive into a case more twisted than anything they've faced. The victims are connected by a chilling symbol, and the echoes Alex experiences hint at something ancient... and organized.
As the shadows close in, Alex must confront not only the killer's past-but his own. Because buried in the echoes is a truth even more dangerous than the cult they're chasing.
And some memories that were never meant to be remembered.
