The Neighborhood Watch

Some secrets are buried. Others are buried alive. Daniel Mercer returned to Willowbrook Heights for one reason: to find his sister, Lena. She vanished without a trace, leaving behind only cryptic notes and a neighborhood that seems too perfect-too quiet, too controlled. But the deeper Daniel digs, the more he realizes something is horribly wrong. The residents act strangely. His childhood friends don't remember him.
And the notes Lena left behind suggest a terrifying truth: "They're replacing us."Willowbrook Heights isn't the idyllic community it appears to be. It's a testing ground for Cross Biotech, a shadowy organization experimenting with memory suppression and consciousness transfer. The people Daniel knows-his sister, his friends, even himself-might not be who they seem. As he races to uncover the truth, he's drawn into a deadly conspiracy where trust is a liability, memories are weapons, and no one is who they appear to be.
With the help of Naomi Reyes, a detective with her own secrets, and Sophia Rivera, a hacker with a vendetta against Cross Biotech, Daniel must navigate a labyrinth of lies before he loses his mind-or worse, his identity. But in a world where fragments of evil lurk inside the people he loves, the greatest danger might be the one he can't see coming. Trust no one. Remember nothing. Survive at all costs.
