Gary's created something truly haunting here with 'Astrid: Who Killed Me?' - a supernatural thriller that hooks you from the very first page.
Detective Marcus Reid is still tormented by his twin sister Emma's unsolved murder from 14 years ago, spending sleepless nights surrounded by case files and cold coffee.
When he's called to investigate the brutal killing of 22-year-old bartender Astrid Novak behind Murphy's Tavern, the crime scene triggers something devastating - Astrid looks exactly like his deceased sister, right down to a matching scar above the left eyebrow.
The psychological trauma causes Marcus to collapse at the scene, but what happens next transforms this from a standard police procedural into something extraordinary.
What makes this story absolutely gripping is the supernatural element that Gary weaves in so naturally - when the medical examiner touches Astrid's body, Marcus experiences a powerful psychic connection that literally knocks him unconscious.
Waking up in the hospital 18 hours later, he begins hearing Astrid's voice promising they'll help each other solve her murder.
It's a brilliant premise that explores themes of trauma, unresolved grief, and the possibility that some bonds transcend death itself.
Gary's experience as both a technician and programmer shows in his methodical approach to both the crime investigation and the paranormal elements, creating a story that feels grounded even as it ventures into the supernatural.
