The deaths seem unrelated until patterns emerge-every victim worked with or under the founder of a controversial psychology facility, and all were found dead from apparent drug overdoses. The facility was running secret trials of an experimental drug-A9913-meant to boost memory retention by 300%. But the drug was suddenly destroyed in a fire before it could reach public testing. As Alex and his unlikely team-Leila Voss, a sharp lawyer with buried ties to the case, Damon Cruz, a paranoid but gifted outcast, and Sam-dive deeper, they discover the serial killer once participated in the same trial. Now, without access to the drug, they must rely on instinct, flawed memories, and fragmented clues. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize: this killer isn't just trying to erase the past... he's trying to control what gets remembered.Complete
