To Consume

She went to a guidance appointment for pregnant women. She never came home.

Jonah Montgomery is a theoretical physicist, not a detective. But when his girlfriend Monroe disappears after being recruited by a mysterious "guidance program" for young mothers, he becomes something else entirely: a man with nothing left to lose.

The trail leads him to a hidden network operating in the shadows of wealth and power—a machine that preys on vulnerable women, harvests their infants, and supplies a black-market product to consumers who believe they can drink their way to immortality.

Based on the nonfiction investigation To Harvest, To Consume is an unflinching literary thriller that follows one man's descent into a world of ritual consumption and elite impunity. There are no heroes here. No tidy endings. Only the haunting truth that the powerful have always fed on the young—and that some hungers can never be satisfied.

To Consume is a novel about the cost of desire, the nature of evil, and the quiet catastrophe of looking away.
