The Barracks Shadow

By Jessica Lee

Some shadows don't stay on the battlefield.

Combat medic Kevin Hayes survived the war, but the war never left him.

Haunted by the aftermath of a failed mission, Kevin struggles with severe PTSD that blurs the line between memory and reality. Flashbacks strike without warning, leaving him questioning what he saw, what he remembers, and what is real. To the close-knit military community around him, he's become an unpredictable outsider-a man no one fully trusts.

Then Sarah Carter, the wife of a respected Army captain, vanishes without a trace.

As investigators search for answers, Kevin's fragmented memories place him at the center of the case. His history of public meltdowns and psychological trauma makes him the perfect suspect, while someone hidden in the shadows quietly manipulates the evidence to ensure the blame falls on him.

But Kevin is convinced Sarah isn't simply missing-she's in grave danger.

To save her, he'll have to untangle the shattered memories he no longer trusts, expose a conspiracy no one else can see, and prove his innocence before the truth disappears forever. Every step brings him closer to a deadly secret... and closer to losing himself.

A gripping military psychological thriller filled with suspense, unreliable memories, and shocking twists, this novel will keep readers guessing until the very last page.
