Sixteen years ago, Dr. Vincent Rowe gave his wife the ultimate gift: a miracle baby after years of infertility - and a handcrafted gazebo as her "push present."
Caroline thought her life was finally whole. Until a freak accident sends their daughter to the hospital... and doctors uncover something that shatters her world.
The girl has no trace of Caroline's DNA. Not one marker.
Desperate for answers, Caroline writes an anonymous tip that sparks a federal investigation. What unravels is more horrifying than anything she could have imagined: her husband, a respected fertility specialist, is a cold-blooded murderer - and her body was the scene of his perfect crime.
The Body He Built is a visceral psychological horror novella about control, identity, and the quiet terror of finding out the person you loved most was building something monstrous - inside your own body.
