The Devil-Ray by Joel Martin Nichols, Jr. audiobook.

Genre: scifi

George Ferris is a master thief with a problem no lockpick can solve: he cannot remember who he truly is. Living by instinct and reputation, he teams up with two fellow criminals for a high-risk break-in at Castle Blennerhof, an isolated stronghold rumored to hide a fortune in priceless jewels. The plan is clean, the target is legendary, and the payout could buy any of them a new life. Then the night fractures. A plane roars overhead, and a strange purple beam lances down from the clouds, striking one of Ferris' partners and killing him instantly. The heist becomes something else entirely: a frantic flight through dark corridors, suspicious villagers, and a countryside suddenly haunted by a weapon no one can explain and no one can outrun. As Ferris struggles to keep ahead of the law, rival opportunists, and the next lethal flash from the sky, his missing past starts to feel less like a weakness and more like a clue someone would kill to possess. Part crime caper, part eerie science fiction, The Devil-Ray drives toward a single question: when death can fall from above without warning, what does it take to stay alive long enough to learn the truth?
