IT'S EVERY PARENT'S WORST NIGHTMARE.
When Brian Murphy's son vanishes, it's as if he's reliving his worst nightmare.
Two years earlier, Brian's wife April disappeared under similar circumstances; she was later found dead, a possible murder victim. What begins as a missing-person search unravels into something far darker, as Brian finds himself a suspect in his late wife’s death. In seeking to track down his son and clear his name, Brian uncovers a conspiracy that forces him to question everything he believes and everyone he loves.
PROJECT COMPLIANCE, Patrick Ross' novel in progress, is a high-stakes psychological thriller that explores how grief, manipulation, and technology can twist the human mind.
