The Roommate

by Yet Fry

They said Mark’s death was an accident. Robbie Walsh knows better. After his boyfriend dies in a suspicious fall from a West Lafayette, Indiana, bridge, Robbie is left shattered, isolated, and drowning in grief. The police closed the case quickly. Mark’s family wants silence. Everyone seems eager to move on. Then Billy Morgan appears. A transfer student and junior psychology major, Billy is calm, compassionate, and strangely invested in Robbie’s recovery. He listens when no one else will. He understands Robbie’s fear, anger, and confusion. But Billy is hiding something. He works for the New Dawn Foundation — a secretive network tied to conversion therapy camps and violent cover-ups. His assignment is simple: keep Robbie under control and make sure the truth about Mark’s death never surfaces. As Robbie uncovers disturbing clues — a missing ring, a hidden recording, a secret contract — Billy begins a sophisticated campaign of manipulation. Emails are forged. Memories are questioned. Reality itself becomes unstable. Is Robbie uncovering a conspiracy? Or is he losing his mind? With the help of investigative reporter Anya Sharma, Robbie goes on the run carrying evidence that could destroy New Dawn forever. But Billy’s professional mission has become something darker, more obsessive, and deeply personal. He doesn’t just want to silence Robbie. He wants to replace Mark. Hunted through Chicago and deep into the North Woods, Robbie must survive a terrifying psychological game in which truth is weaponized, trust is deadly, and love can become the perfect trap. The Roommate is a fast-paced psychological thriller perfect for readers of dark suspense, queer thrillers, conspiracy fiction, and stories of obsession, manipulation, and survival.
