In the fog-shrouded seaside town of Full Moon Cay, two teenagers vanish without a trace. When Tommy Jurczyk is found alive days later—with his memory completely erased—the relief is short-lived. Soon after, a fisherman pulls the brutally tortured body of Tommy’s best friend, Bobby Portilla, from the ocean.

Veteran detective Al Esposito knows this isn’t a simple murder. As whispers of strange figures in the mist and unexplained nights along the coast surface, the case begins to point toward something darker—and far more dangerous—than anyone is prepared to face.

At the center of it all is Tommy, a gender-fluid teenager struggling to understand who he is while grappling with guilt, fear, and a past he can no longer remember. As the investigation deepens, long-buried secrets rise, the town’s calm exterior fractures, and a malevolent force tightens its grip.

Blending supernatural horror, a gripping whodunit, and a powerful coming-of-age story, Identity is a haunting exploration of friendship, trauma, self-discovery, and the cost of buried truths. Atmospheric, emotionally resonant, and deeply unsettling, this is a novel that lingers long after the final page—culminating in a shocking, revelatory ending readers won’t forget.

Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers, dark mysteries, and character-driven stories with LGBTQ themes.
