Some memories are too dangerous to remember.
Memory broker Mara Vale extracts memories and emotions for a living-pulling experiences from people's minds and preserving them in capsules that can be bought, sold, traded, stored and even forgotten. It's technical work. Precise work.
Until a desperate woman shows up at her door, framed for a crime she didn't commit. Her only hope of proving her innocence lies in a decade-old memory capsule that's been encrypted, hidden, and buried-a memory that someone has spent ten years trying to keep secret.
When Mara decrypts it, she uncovers something that could destroy careers, expose conspiracies, and unravel secrets that powerful people have killed to protect.
And it's connected to the case that ended her father's career ten years ago-the investigation he was forced to abandon, the truth he was never allowed to find.
Now Mara has one chance to finish what he started. But in a world where memories hold power and truth is a commodity, nothing is simple. The frame-up is just the beginning. A decade-old coverup is unraveling. And the deeper Mara digs, the more she realizes that some secrets were buried for a reason.
The past refuses to stay hidden.
And the truth might cost her everything.
