# The Blackwood Files — Book Description
Ethan Reed wakes inside Blackwood Psychiatric Asylum with eleven missing days and no idea how he got there.
He remembers driving to Maine with Maya Sterling for their anniversary. But the doctors tell him Maya is missing, the police believe Ethan may be responsible, and the evidence seems impossible to deny: a yellow raincoat, muddy footprints, a damaged diary, and memories that refuse to stay buried.
Then Ethan discovers something far more disturbing.
His memories may not belong entirely to him.
Hidden beneath Blackwood Psychiatric Asylum is a secret program involving memory manipulation, fabricated narratives, and psychological experiments. As Ethan searches for Maya and tries to reconstruct the truth, every piece of evidence seems designed to make him doubt himself.
His best friend has secrets. Maya left behind warnings. Dr. Adrian Hayes and Dr. Eleanor Voss know far more than they admit. And somewhere inside the maze of Ethan's fractured memories lies the truth about what happened at Sebago Lake.
But the deeper Ethan goes, the more dangerous the question becomes:
What if the person he has been trying to prove innocent is not the person he really is?
The Blackwood Files is a psychological thriller about memory, guilt, manipulation, identity, and the terrifying possibility that reality itself can be rewritten.
