Lucidity: A Novel

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.
