His Name

What if the real crime isn’t murder-but erasure?
Set against the shadowed history of the Cleveland Torso Murders, His Name reimagines Eliot Ness’s most elusive case as something far more unsettling than a hunt for a killer.
As bodies surface without identities and official records begin to contradict themselves, Ness discovers that memory itself is failing. Names vanish. Testimony shifts. Even the past refuses to stay fixed.
Blending historical noir, psychological horror, and mythic realism, His Name explores how cities bury their failures-and how forgetting can become a weapon more efficient than violence.
Atmospheric, restrained, and unnervingly plausible, His Name is the debut novel by Robert J. Werner, asking a single haunting question:
If no one remembers the dead...
who do we become?
