Dr. Jacob Manning is a celebrated psychiatrist known for navigating the darkest corners of the human mind, yet nothing could prepare him for the haunting case of Jackie Harper. Found in a dark basement after a two-week disappearance, Jackie has returned—but she's not the same. She speaks of shadows, whispers, and memories that don't seem to fit.
As Dr. Manning delves deeper into Jackie's fractured mind, he finds himself drawn into a labyrinth of secrets that stretch far beyond his initial diagnosis. Each session unearths chilling fragments of her past, leading him to question where reality ends and her delusions begin. But as strange coincidences turn into unnerving patterns, Manning realizes that Jackie may not be the only one hiding something.
Faced with a tangled web of deception, Dr. Manning must confront the possibility that not all monsters hide in the mind—and that, sometimes, the most dangerous shadows are the ones lurking just out of sight.
Fragments of the Mind is the gripping first installment in the Manning series, a psychological thriller that will keep you questioning reality until the very last page.
