Synopsis

A missing person and an attempted murder lead investigators to a shady scientific institute in this “dark and twisted thriller” (The Oklahoman).  
 
It’s been twenty years since Stacey Walker disappeared, and the case has gone cold. But Menlo Park Police Detective Hank Madden has just been hired to heat it up again by a Silicon Valley executive who wants her body—and her missing husband—found.  
 
Four months later, on the opposite coast, author Candace Epstein is pushed in front of a car near Central Park. Her editor, Max Fremmer, becomes entangled in the investigation and starts digging into Candace’s background—growing increasingly suspicious about her connection to an Upper East Side institute that claims to research lucid dreaming. Especially since its staff’s stories never seem to add up . . .  
 
Then an unexpected link emerges to Detective Madden’s investigation in California. As similarities arise between the cases, Detective Madden and Fremmer forge an unlikely partnership to expose what misconduct lurks beneath the façade of the Lucidity Center—but can they unravel the secret that links their investigations in time, or are they only dreaming? This stunning thriller will keep you guessing until the final, satisfying jolt.

    Sebastian St. Cyr investigates the mysterious life and death of a nobleman convicted of murder in this enthralling new historical mystery from the USA Today bestselling author of Who Slays the Wicked. ... It's June 1814, and the royal families of Austria, Russia, and the German states have gathered in London at the Prince Regent's invitation to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon and the restoration of monarchical control throughout Europe. But the festive atmosphere is marred one warm summer evening by the brutal murder of a disgraced British nobleman long thought dead. Eighteen years before, Nicholas Hayes, the third son of the late Earl of Seaforth, was accused of killing a beautiful young French émigré and then transported to Botany Bay for life. Even before his conviction, Hayes had been disowned by his father, and few in London were surprised when they heard the ne'er-do-well had died a convict in New South Wales. But those reports were obviously wrong. Recently Hayes returned to London with a mysterious young boy in tow—a child who vanishes shortly after Nicholas's body is discovered. Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, is drawn into the investigation by his valet, Jules Calhoun, an old friend of the dead man. With Calhoun's help, Sebastian begins to piece together the shattered life of the late Earl's ill-fated youngest son. Why did Nicholas risk his life and freedom by returning to England? And why did he bring the now-missing young boy with him? Several nervous Londoners had reason to fear that Nicholas Hayes had returned to kill them. One of them might have decided to kill him first.
