About this book

America, 2036. Powerful magnate Hiroshi Nakamura needs ex-cop Nick Bottom's services, and, in particular, his memories. As head of the original investigation into the murder of Nakamura's son, Bottom's flashbacks hold the key to solving what was the toughest case of his career. But as Nick delves deeper, the harder it becomes to trust those around him. And when he uncovers a connection to his wife's death, it is not only Hiroshi Nakamura who wants answers.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

A propulsive thriller that trades depth for forward motion. The voice is direct, the chapters are short, and most readers blow through it in two sittings. If you're between heavier books and want a clean reset, this fits.
