He Was Not Himself

A worried father hires private investigator Zachary Goldman to check out his daughter’s new boyfriend.

Aaron Barrows seems perfect. Too perfect. He says all the right things, shares all the right interests, and swept Leila off her feet at exactly the right moment. But the more Zachary digs, the less Aaron’s story holds together.

What should have been a routine background check turns into a tense private investigator mystery filled with deception, dangerous secrets, and questions no one in Leila’s family wants to ask. If Aaron isn’t who he claims to be, Leila could be walking straight into trouble.

- Dark family secrets, rising danger, and psychological suspense

Zachary knows better than most that appearances can lie. To protect a young woman who doesn’t want his help, he’ll have to uncover the truth before the damage is irreversible.
