Lost

FBI agent Carl Hansen has seen too much — too many horrors, too many things no one should believe exist. All he wants is peace. Instead, he's thrown headfirst into chaos.

A devastating terrorist attack. The sudden loss of a trusted colleague. A serial killer who strikes without pattern or mercy. And a sharp-eyed new boss who sees right through Carl's carefully guarded walls.

As the world unravels around him, Carl finds himself walking alongside people he never expected to care about — people willing to carry a fragile light into the heart of the dark. But in a world of living nightmares, can even the smallest flame survive… or will Carl's last hope be snuffed out like all the others before it?

The Field Researcher Files is a gripping blend of cosmic horror, crime, urban fantasy, and emotional drama. Each standalone book explores a different facet of human resilience, asking: What makes us human — and what will we risk to protect what matters most?
