The Arx by Jay Allan Storey

Since a mental breakdown put him on medical leave from the squad he was once hand-picked to lead, ex-homicide detective Frank Langer spends his days drinking and chain-smoking, and his nights waking up screaming from a horrific recurring nightmare.

Until one day, by chance, he stumbles on a monstrous plot to kidnap children.

When he shows up at the squad with his wild story, the guys pat him on the back and tell him to go home. But after the mother of one of the missing children commits suicide, Frank stamps down his demons, and plunges into the case.

The clues lead to a shadowy cabal lurking behind one of the most powerful Pharma corporations on the planet. When he finally unravels the mystery, the truth is more bizarre and deadly than he ever imagined.

The world needs know about the treacherous plot. But can Frank stay alive long enough to find someone to buy his story?
