Quietly Into the Night by Vincent Zandri

Coming June 9th, 2026

What if the person you love most is quietly turning you into a killer?

Norman Kelleher has it all again: a revived career, a second chance at love, and the kind of success that puts a target on his back. Then he wakes up on a train with no memory how he got there—and blood on his hands.


As Norman’s blackouts grow more violent, accusations mount. A crusading journalist wants his career destroyed. The police want answers. And the woman he trusts most begins to wonder if he’s lost his mind—or is hiding something far worse.


Trapped inside a tightening web of manipulation, drugs, and buried secrets, Norman races to uncover the truth before his life, his freedom, and his sanity are erased. But the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t about madness. It’s about control. And someone is determined to own him completely.

In this gritty psychological noir, love becomes a weapon, memory is unreliable, and reality bends toward betrayal. Every step forward risks another lost night—and another crime he may not remember committing.
