A debt collector inside David’s mind

Set in 1990s San Francisco, the novel begins with David facing a $12,000 tax debt and the arrival of a tax man who refuses to leave. As David’s wife goes missing, the visitor presses him about blackouts and lost time, while linking those gaps to a killer on the loose. The premise brings financial pressure, missing-person suspense, and uncertainty about David’s own perceptions into the same psychological-thriller framework. Its central tension turns on what the tax man knows—and whether David can trust the explanations he offers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in psychological thrillers involving uncertain reality and memory gaps.
  • Readers drawn to suspense built around a missing spouse and a possible killer.
