Travis Rogers used to believe the strangest parts of his mind were the reason he could write.
Now something inside him is writing back.
After the success of his first novel, Travis is running out of time, money, and ideas. His relationship with Brooke is beginning to strain beneath the weight of a second book that refuses to exist. Then the dreams return.
A man in black.
A face in the mirror that looks like his own.
A voice calling him toward a black and endless sea.
And scenes of violence Travis cannot explain.
When a young woman is found murdered in Hamlin, the details begin to resemble the pages forming on Travis’s laptop. Details he should not know. As more of his waking life disappears into missing hours, Travis becomes convinced that the figure haunting him may be something more than a nightmare.
It calls itself his Muse.
It says it has always been there.
And it only wants to help him finish the book.
While private investigator Diane Harland begins uncovering disturbing similarities between the murder and an older case, former cop Rhys is pulled back toward a past he would rather forget. Brooke, meanwhile, watches the man she loves slowly become someone she no longer recognizes.
Or perhaps someone who was always there.
Because whatever has found Travis doesn’t simply want to be heard.
It wants out.
A dark psychological thriller about obsession, identity, creation, and the terrible things we can convince ourselves are necessary. Transference is the completely rebuilt new edition of the novel.
