The Clover Experiment

Jack Robbins drowned in his own bathtub on Halloween night.

His wife and children are gone.

When Detective Robert Walton arrives, he finds a house that's too quiet. No forced entry. No struggle. Just a dead man in the water — and a family that vanished into the dark while trick-or-treaters filled the streets outside.

Walton has worked missing persons cases before. Runaway wives. Custody disputes gone wrong. Marriages rotten with secrets.

But something about this house doesn't make sense.

Then he finds the basement.

Behind a hidden bookcase door, Walton discovers hundreds of handwritten notebooks — every one signed with the same name: Beatrice Clover. The bestselling author who vanished five years ago without a trace, mid-series, leaving millions of readers with theories and no answers.

But these aren't her published novels. The stories in these notebooks are darker. Kidnappings. Murders. Experiments.

And some of them are starting to come true.

To find Bethany Robbins and her children, Walton will have to answer the question that has obsessed readers for years — who is Beatrice Clover? — and uncover a secret buried in a forgotten government project known only as Batch 88.

Because the notebooks aren't fiction.

They're memories.
