Description

In a community shadowed by secrets and silence, Lakewood becomes the stage for a chilling collision between ordinary life and the machinery of modern medical experimentation. As unsettling events ripple outward, characters are forced to confront what has been done in the name of progress—and what it costs to survive when truth is treated as a threat. The novel fearlessly examines race, power, consent, and the long afterlife of exploitation, blending suspense with a deeply human focus on resilience and moral reckoning. With Megan Giddings’s sharp, propulsive storytelling and emotionally grounded perspective, this debut delivers a tense, thought-provoking read that lingers long after the final page.
