Chicago Prime, 1931. The Confederacy won the war. The mob owns the city. And Mercury Jones can't forget a thing. Every face. Every word. Every moment of his life since he was five is stored with perfect, merciless clarity. It's the gift that made him the most feared private detective in a city full of people who'd rather stay hidden. It's the curse that hasn't let him sleep in years. When bodies start turning up staged like ballerinas, Mercury finds himself hunting something that doesn't play by any rules he's ever known. The killer leaves no evidence. The police look the other way. And the closer Mercury gets, the more certain he becomes of one terrifying truth. Dead Memory is a hardboiled noir thriller where the city is corrupt, the conspiracy runs deeper than anyone dares to look, and the man with the perfect memory is about to discover that some things were never meant to be remembered.
