Ashworth, Eva — Dr. Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit
Dr. Eva Ashworth has spent her career reading people with surgical precision. But when a Washington power couple walks into her Dupont Circle office with a story that should be impossible, Eva is pulled into a covert behavioral program she once helped design…and never knew had been activated.
What begins as a single case becomes a three-volume descent into the most dangerous question a government can ask.

The Trilogy
File DR-RAD / 01
Book One ◆ Program Activated
Silence is not empty.It is built.
A CEO’s memories are vanishing from the institutional record. His colleagues sincerely believe events never happened. Photographs rearrange themselves. And Eva discovers that the behavioral methodology she once authored—DR. RAD—has been weaponized.
The silence isn’t absence. It’s design.
File MERIDIAN / 02
Book Two ◆ Program Expanding
A compact is not peace.It is an agreement about what must never be named.
The deeper Eva goes, the more she uncovers a multi-agency compact built on recursive behavioral attrition—an agreement that never existed on paper, but governs everything in practice. The Meridian Program is expanding, and Eva must decide whether she is investigating the system…or already inside it.
The record isn’t broken. It’s curated.
File LAST LIGHT / 03
Book Three ◆ Final Phase
When silence fails, there is a protocol.It is written in last light.
The final phase activates. Eva confronts the architects of the program, the buried research that predicted its evolution, and the last protocol designed to erase the people who understand too much.
The truth isn’t lost. It’s protected by those who can survive knowing it.

The architect
Dr. Shoemaker writes from three decades in trauma, attachment, and the systems that teach families—and institutions—what must not be said. The EVA A trilogy turns that clinical lens outward, onto the machinery that decides what the rest of us are allowed to remember.
