The Familiar Stranger

By Jason Rouse and Douglas L Brown III

How well do you know the man next door-especially when that man is yourself?

Jacob Willis has the perfect reputation. At 45, he's admired, well-spoken, and generous-a respected community leader, business consultant, and church volunteer. But behind the clean image is a man who wakes up each morning haunted by something... or someone... he can't explain.

When Jacob begins to notice that people around him are disappearing-and that no one else remembers them-his world fractures. The therapist he confides in? Possibly an agent. The woman who believes him? Maybe a liar. And the deeper he digs, the more he realizes he may have played a role in the disappearances he's trying to solve.

Now, Jacob must confront the most terrifying question of all:

Is he the hero of this story-or the one everyone should fear?

Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, You, and The Silent Patient, The Familiar Stranger is a chilling psychological thriller that dives into memory, identity, and the secrets we hide even from ourselves.
