Humour

Dr. Caspian Vane dissects the dead. A former psychiatrist haunted by his patient's suicide, he now operates a machine that captures the final seconds of human consciousness. When a scan reveals two minds in one dying brain—the victim's, and a philosopher dead twenty-three years—Caspian uncovers a conspiracy where fragments of a dead man's consciousness are being implanted into the living. His only ally is Detective Silas Grin, a rumpled policeman who uses relentless humour to survive the darkness. As they hunt for the remaining victims before they break, Caspian confronts the rogue neuroscientist behind the experiments and discovers a devastating truth: his own patient was one of her first subjects. The voice Leo heard was real. Now the voice wants Caspian himself. The Aether Loom is a literary thriller about grief, identity, and learning to listen to the dead before they stop speaking.
