A perception-twisting sci-fi thriller by a critically acclaimed author. Sometimes, the truth is weirder than the conspiracy theories.

Journalist Mike Karras has heard a lot of strange things, but they’re about to get stranger… and a lot more dangerous.

Accounts of a ‘second shooter’ have attended on every assassination since JFK, but there’s rarely any proof. Commissioned by a small conspiracy-minded publisher to research the phenomenon, Mike draws someone’s attention, getting him implicated in a bombing, and on the run from… well, everyone.

Joined by Rahel Alazar, who claims to have been saved by God during a shooting at church, Mike may have learned enough to stop a massacre—or get himself killed.
