Dr. Michael Chen wakes up in his own operating room with blood on his hands and no memory of how it got there. The most terrifying part? The handwritten note beside him-in his own precise script-warns him that "they" are inside his head now. When his patients start dying from impossible surgical complications, Michael realizes the unthinkable: someone has turned him into a weapon. But the victims aren't random-they're federal judges, prosecutors, and investigators whose deaths serve a hidden agenda. Someone has been programming Seattle's most trusted neurosurgeon to commit perfect murders, and he has no memory of becoming a killer.The deeper Michael digs, the more horrifying the truth becomes. He's not alone-dozens of medical professionals across the country have been systematically brainwashed into unwitting assassins. The conspiracy reaches into the highest levels of government, and Michael's desperate search for answers puts him in the crosshairs of shadowy forces that can erase minds as easily as they destroy lives. With his own memories fractured and his sanity in question, Michael faces an impossible choice: trust a mind that may no longer be his own, or watch as a coordinated medical massacre destroys the very foundations of American democracy. Time is running out, the programming is fighting back, and Michael Chen is about to discover that the most dangerous enemy is the one living inside your own skull.
