Overview

At Calder University, brilliance is a blood sport. Behind the ivy-covered walls and candlelit seminars, a select group of psychology students conduct a secret experiment known only as the Trigger Games-a study in human empathy pushed to its breaking point. Elias Quinn, an idealistic transfer student with something to prove, believes he's been chosen to join the university's most elite minds. Under the watch of the magnetic Dr. Maren Vale, he's tasked with manipulating a first-year student's emotions for the sake of research. But when the subject dies, the line between experiment and crime blurs-and Elias begins to suspect that the real experiment was never about her at all. As he unravels a labyrinth of deception, memory, and moral decay, Elias discovers that he's not the observer but the observed-that every word, every choice, every guilt-ridden impulse was designed to test him. Chilling, cerebral, and devastatingly human, The Trigger Games explores how empathy can become a weapon, how intellect can rot into arrogance, and how the pursuit of knowledge can destroy the soul it seeks to understand. For readers of The Secret History and Gone Girl, this is a haunting descent into the psychology of manipulation-where the sharpest minds play the deadliest games.
