What to expect

And you thought first contact was terrifying.

From New York Times bestselling author Ken Goddard comes a terrifying thriller that dares to pursue the truth behind a series of bizarre occurrences—and a murderer whose identity even the authorities will kill to keep concealed.

A man of reason and science, Colin Cellars has earned a reputation as a top crime scene investigator. But Cellars finds himself disgraced after a bizarre episode that led to a horrifying shoot-out right in front of his eyes. What Cellars thinks he knows about the victim's identity—and her death—has plunged him into a deadly search for a killer who may or may not be of this world.

Meanwhile, as Cellars investigates a case involving dozens of missing victims, he realizes that the three people he trusts most each hold a piece to the puzzle—and that they have their own ideas about what to do with the information. Soon Cellars finds himself on a chilling and unforgettable voyage, one that leads through tunnels of violence and intrigue and out into the unknown.

Critics Review

  • “Well-written, suspenseful…[A] page-turner.”

    have a deliciously layered plot that gets stranger and stranger, as the DNA
    gets weirder and weirder, and the story gets scarier and scarier.”

    Providence Sunday Journal
  • “A genuinely entertaining thriller.”
