Innocent Murder

When Boston Globe investigative journalist and Iraq War veteran Jason Logan wakes from a nightmare, he doesn't know he's just murdered his best friend.

Paul Hunter—fellow veteran, neighbor, colleague—is shot dead outside their newspaper building on a February morning. Cameras go dark. Traffic lights fail. No witnesses. A perfect, professional execution.

As Jason investigates Paul's murder, disturbing fragments surface. Blackouts he can't explain. Dreams that feel like memories. His own DNA at the crime scene. A classified program called Project Lazarus that experimented on eight Special Ops soldiers in Iraq—soldiers who can be activated like weapons, then made to forget.

Jason is one of the eight.

From the streets of Boston to the back alleys of Naples, the Swiss Alps, and beyond, a shadowy conspiracy unravels—one that has already reached world leaders and threatens to push humanity toward nuclear catastrophe.

The killer isn't hiding.

He just doesn't know he's the killer.

Innocent Murder is a relentless psychological thriller about identity, memory, and the terrifying distance between who we think we are—and what we've been made to do.
