About this audiobook

She can’t remember arriving. She’s not allowed to leave.

When Mara wakes up inside Highreach Hospital, she has no idea how she got there.

Staff insist she admitted herself. But the locked doors, heavy medication, and terrified whispers from other patients tell a different story.

As Mara tries to piece together the hours she’s lost, one truth becomes impossible to ignore. Someone wants her here. And they’re not letting her go.

Investigative journalist Rowan Archer is uncovering alarming reports about Highreach Hospital’s experimental treatments.

Determined to expose the truth, Rowan follows a trail of survivors to find out what is really happening behind the hospital’s sealed doors.

But someone wants to keep the truth hidden at any cost . . .
