The Metaxy Project

*Finalist for International Thriller Writers Award*From the bestselling author of the Dominic Grey series comes a novel of dark and riveting suspense: part literary thriller, part paranormal mystery, part unflinching portrayal of the vast gulf between the haves and have nots in modern day America. Rising above a hardscrabble childhood to become a star at one of Atlanta's most prestigious law firms, Derek Miller is reliving The Great Gatsby in his own backyard.
The spell is broken, however, when Derek's investigation into the death of his mentor, a prominent psychologist, runs afoul of a mysterious government project involving research into psychic phenomena. As Derek digs deeper, convinced his mentor was murdered, he is plunged into a rabbit hole of government experiments, clandestine figures, and supposed paranormal events. His investigation also puts him at odds with shadowy forces deep within the corridors of power--including those on the top floor of his own law firm.
With his career in shambles, a warrant out for his arrest, and his life in jeopardy, Derek is running out of time to unravel the secrets surrounding his mentor's research. From a theoretical physicist to a clairvoyant housewife to the charismatic pastor of a mega-church, from lavish Southern mansions to desperate urban wasteland, Derek's investigation turns into a race for survival that hinges on one thing alone: finding a unique little girl who was the subject of his mentor's research.
A girl who, if she is still alive, could change everything.
