Synopsis

The figures look lifeless. They're not. And one of them knows Alexa's name.

Maximilian Kramer has resurfaced in Sea Port to reopen a wax museum whose collection seems far too human. When Alexa, a nineteen-year-old woman, hears one of the figures call for help, her nightmares stop feeling like dreams and begin returning a name she does not recognize: Farah.

Blake Hunter, custodian of an Order that investigates alterations of memory, body, and will, follows a trail of black wax from Cape Red to Kramer's museum. There he discovers that the old man is not looking for just any victim: he has been waiting for Alexa for decades, and the figures on display are not mere sculptures.

To stop him, Blake will have to enter a prison where breaking the mechanism may kill those he means to free. As Kramer prepares Farah's return and the museum begins to reveal what it keeps beneath the wax, every decision reduces the chances that anyone will emerge unscathed.

Adrian Cross is an author of mystery and supernatural fiction whose work explores the point where investigation, psychological tension, and the unexplained begin to overlap. His stories are built around carefully layered mysteries, atmospheric settings, and characters forced to confront situations in which logic alone is no longer enough.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Adrian Cross is an author of mystery and supernatural fiction whose work explores the point where investigation, psychological tension, and the unexplained begin to overlap. His stories are built around carefully layered mysteries, atmospheric settings, and characters forced to confront situations in which logic alone is no longer enough.

Cross combines elements of adventure, suspense, and supernatural horror with recurring themes of memory, identity, possession, freedom, and the consequences of difficult choices. Rather than treating the supernatural as mere spectacle, his fiction uses it as a source of uncertainty and conflict, gradually destabilizing both the characters' understanding of events and the reader's sense of what can be trusted.

He is the author of the Blake Hunter series, in which investigative mystery develops into increasingly darker territory, blending psychological unease with supernatural forces and questions surrounding personal autonomy and identity.

Cross's fiction is characterized by controlled pacing, escalating tension, and mysteries that move progressively from the recognizable into the extraordinary.
