SHE HUNTS FOR A LIVING.
SHE NEVER EXPECTED TO BECOME ONE.
FBI Special Agent Riann Harlowe has spent her career chasing killers, trusting evidence, and believing every mystery has an answer. Then the murders begin.
Across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, victims with troubling pasts are being executed with surgical precision. The crimes appear unrelated.
Different methods.
Different locations.
Different killers.
But Riann sees a pattern no one else can.
The deeper she investigates, the more impossible the case becomes. Missing memories.
Unexplained blackouts.
Violent flashes of a childhood she cannot fully remember. And a growing fear that the person she is hunting may somehow be connected to long-buried secrets within herself.
At the center of it all stands David Stone, a brilliant and ruthless scientist who believes identity itself can be engineered, controlled, and rewritten. Decades earlier, he conducted classified neurological experiments on children.
Riann was one of them.
Now she must uncover the truth about what was done to her before the fragments of her
past consume everything she loves. Because someone has been manipulating her life for
years. Someone who knows thoughts she never realized were planted. And someone who
believes she was never meant to be free.CONTROL STATE is a gripping psychological thriller that blends conspiracy, memory
manipulation, government experimentation, and relentless suspense into a story that asks
one terrifying question:
If your mind was rewritten without your knowledge, would you still be you?
Perfect for readers who love Dark Matter, Recursion, Severance, and high-concept thrillers
where every revelation changes everything.
