An hour of her life is gone. The blood on her hands isn’t.
Detective Leah wakes in a motel room beside a body she swears she didn’t kill. Her weapon is still warm. Her memory is gone. And Internal Affairs wants her silenced before she can ask the first question.
As the city convulses with scandal, Leah unearths a hidden program designed to erase memories… and rewrite loyalties. Files vanish. Witnesses recant. Friends turn enemy. And someone is hunting her down to make sure she never remembers what really happened that night. But Leah has one thing they didn’t plan for: a notebook filled with fragments of her missing hours. Each line leads her deeper into the truth… and closer to the people who want her erased.
In a world where evidence burns and memory betrays, the only rule is simple:
Trust nothing. Not even yourself.
