When The Other Man WAKES

Every year on Detective Adrian Vale's birthday, someone dies. For fifteen years, Adrian has investigated a series of disturbing murders without realizing that every crime leads back to him. Each victim is connected to the abandoned Saint Matthew's Hospital, and each murder carries the same chilling signature: a wedding ring placed on the victim's finger. Adrian is known as a brilliant detective, a devoted husband, and a man who never loses control. But when his own wedding ring is discovered in the hand of the latest victim, the life he trusted begins to collapse. His wife, Sandra, has witnessed frightening changes in him for years. His partner, Detective Marcus Bell, uncovers evidence that should be impossible. Hidden hospital records reveal Adrian had a twin brother named Victor-a boy believed to have died long ago. As midnight approaches, Adrian must confront buried memories, a secret experiment, and the terrifying possibility that Victor never truly disappeared. Is Victor a traumatized memory, another identity, or something deliberately awakened inside Adrian? To stop the next murder, Adrian must discover what happened at Saint Matthew's-and decide whether the other man inside him can be controlled before he wakes. When the Other Man Wakes is a gripping psychological crime thriller about identity, memory, betrayal, and the dangerous secrets people bury to protect themselves.
