The Dreaming Tree (The Delta Devlin Novels)

A serial killer is loose on the streets of New York,
chased by a detective whose mutated eyes
see things only she can ...

Shutter Island meets Jacob's Ladder in the new near-future crime thriller from million-copy bestseller Matthew Mather, with books translated in over twenty languages worldwide.

"Relentless pacing, well-developed main characters, and plethora of bombshell plot twists."--Publishers Weekly

After a near-fatal car crash, Royce wakes up to find he's one of the first patients to undergo a radical new procedure: a full-body transplant. Convalescing and suffering from waking nightmares, he answers the door at his Long Island home and meets Delta Devlin, a New York detective. She sees things nobody else can, visions created by a mutation to her eyes.

Royce becomes Devlin's prime suspect in a string of grisly murders. Desperate for answers, he tracks down the grieving widow of the man whose body he now inhabits. Out of time, and perhaps his mind, he tumbles through a hallucinogenic underworld of black-market body parts and billionaires where nothing can stand in the way of living forever--not even death itself.

Matthew Mather's (1969-2022) books have sold millions of copies, been translated and published in over twenty-five countries, and optioned for multiple movie and television contracts. After starting his career at the McGill Center for Intelligent Machines, he worked in ventures ranging from nanotechnology to cybersecurity before becoming a full-time author of high-concept speculative thrillers.
