The Sleep-Debt Detective

Detective Nora Veld hasn't slept properly in weeks.

Then the bodies begin appearing.

Four victims. Four homes. The same disturbing staging. And every murder is preceded by the same unexplained anomaly in Nora's own sleep record: 2:47 a.m.

As memory gaps widen and evidence points back at her, Nora uncovers Project Noctivar—a buried military program designed to separate conscious awareness from human action.

Her name is in the files.

So are the names of the dead.

Now Nora must investigate the most terrifying suspect of her career: herself.

The Sleep-Debt Detective is a compact psychological mystery blending forensic investigation, speculative neuroscience, conspiracy, and questions of memory, agency, and culpability.
