About this ebook

His hands never shook. Then he lost the right one — and the man who took it gave it back.

Dr. Adrian Lurk built a career out of certainty. Steady hands, a spotless record, the kind of surgical instinct other doctors quietly envied. Then two men cornered him in a parking garage and spent four unhurried minutes proving he could be broken, one knuckle at a time.

The offer that follows should feel like a miracle. A prosthetic hand, wired straight into his motor cortex, faster and steadier than the one he lost. For a while, it is a miracle. Adrian operates again. He plays with his daughter again. He starts, for the first time since the garage, to believe he got away with something.

Then the hand starts moving on its own.

It sketches things he's never learned to draw, in the dead hours between midnight and dawn. It steers his car down streets he didn't choose. It closes, one night, around his own daughter's wrist — and doesn't let go the instant he tells it to. Somewhere across the city, someone else is wearing a hand just like his. And every time that stranger thinks about killing, some fraction of the intention arrives in Adrian's fingers first.

He hasn't just lost a hand. He's lost the one thing he trusted more than anyone he loved.

The Phantom Limb is a claustrophobic descent into body horror and betrayal, for readers who want their thrillers to leave a mark — the story of a man forced to ask how much of himself he's willing to destroy to prove his hands are still his own.

Some parts of the body remember things the mind never agreed to.
