The Mind Breaker

About the book

Silas West studied the darkest minds in the world. Now one of them is studying him.

When a mutilated body washes ashore near Kingston, Washington, the local authorities are out of their depth. The injuries aren’t just brutal, they’re deliberate. A gruesome fusion of military torture and ritualistic branding.

Former military psychologist Silas West left D.C. to write a memoir and rebuild his life in a quiet town on Washington's Puget Sound. But when he’s asked to consult on the case, what begins as a favor turns into an obsession. And when another body surfaces-marked with symbols only he can understand-he realizes this isn’t just a pattern.

It’s a message.

And it might be addressed to him.

As the investigation deepens, Silas is pulled back into a chilling world of fractured psyches and brutal violence he thought he’d escaped. But it turns out some doors to the past stay locked for a reason. And some minds-once broken-can never be put back together.
