The Good Samaritan: A Psychological Thriller - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

He saved a stranger's life. Now he's losing his own.

Leo Gage is a ghost in his own life. By day, he is haunted by past humiliations. By night, he finds solace in the anonymous quiet of the Portland Crisis Connection hotline, where his calm, reassuring voice is an anchor for the desperate. He is a good man who has spent his life listening to other people’s pain.

One night, a call comes through that changes everything. A man named Adam is on a bridge, ready to jump. In a tense, emotional conversation, Leo pulls him back from the edge, a heroic act that leaves him with a newfound, fragile sense of purpose.

But his heroism has a terrifying consequence.

Days later, Leo’s abusive landlord is found dead in an apparent suicide. Then, the boss who fired him dies in a tragic accident. After each death, Leo receives a chilling call at the hotline from a distorted voice—the Samaritan he saved, thanking him and promising to keep "making things right."

As the "accidents" escalate, targeting anyone who has ever wronged him, Leo is trapped in a vortex of paranoia. The police are starting to notice the string of convenient tragedies that surround him. Leo’s only ally is the voice on the line, a guardian angel who sounds more like a demon. Is he being protected by a disturbed vigilante? Or, more terrifyingly, is the Samaritan a part of him he doesn't know? Are the blackouts he's been having more than just exhaustion?

The line between helper and hurting is dissolving, and to find the truth, Leo must answer the most terrifying call of his life—the one coming from inside his own head.

A gripping, paranoia-fueled journey into the dark corners of the human psyche, The Good Samaritan is a psychological thriller that will make you question the nature of kindness and the price of a quiet life.
