THE MEMORY MARKET

THE MEMORY MARKETBook OneDr. Mara Quinn investigates memories for a living. In her world, a verified memory is as good as fact — the sharpest evidence a courtroom can ask for. She has built her entire career on one unshakable belief: memory does not lie.Then a routine case breaks that belief in half.A witness's memory leads Mara to a woman who, according to every database on Earth, has never existed. No birth certificate. No fingerprints. No history. Only one photograph — fifteen years old, half-forgotten in a drawer — shows that same impossible face standing beside Mara's own mentor, Dr. Eleanor Sato, who died believing no one would ever find what she'd hidden.An anonymous brass key. A locked room beneath an abandoned research laboratory. A government division that exists to erase the inconvenient parts of history — and a commander who has spent his entire career hunting the very thing Mara is about to become.As the case unravels, Mara is pulled into a conspiracy two centuries in the making: a hidden order of Keepers, an ancient machine buried beneath the Cascade mountains, and a secret her own mentor died to protect — one written in Mara's own handwriting, in memories she doesn't remember losing.Because Mara isn't just investigating this mystery.She's already lived it. She just isn't allowed to remember.As the true scale of the conspiracy comes into focus — spanning generations, governments, and the very architecture of recorded history — Mara has to decide how far she's willing to go, and how much of herself she's willing to lose, to protect a truth the world was never supposed to know it forgot.The first book in the Memory Market series.
