Cuckoo

Married women are vanishing from the streets of Niagara Falls-and coming back changed.

• They return unharmed.
• They remember almost nothing.
• And months later, they discover they're pregnant.

Detective Alec Theron knows he's dealing with a predator unlike any he's faced before. This isn't a crime of rage or domination. The man behind it plans carefully, using drugs, surveillance, and access to confidential medical data to select his victims at precisely the right moment.

The press dubs it The Cuckoo Case, a name that fits all too well.

As Theron and his team follow a trail through abandoned houses, hospital records, and hidden networks, the truth begins to surface: the killer isn't trying to destroy lives-he's trying to build a bloodline. When one victim retains fragments of memory and can identify her captor, the investigation accelerates into a dangerous endgame.

Taut, unsettling, and meticulously researched, this novel explores how intelligence and obsession can be far more terrifying than brute force.
