Marla Espinoza is the best cop in the city, until a burned man appears in a glitch on her computer monitor. The department claims it never happened, but when scorched bodies start turning up across Nova Prosper, Marla knows someone is sending her a message. Each crime scene stirs memories she’s never lived: a sister she never had, a bookstore that closed before she moved here, children she once saved from the cartel. The murders form a pattern only she can see, each victim a breadcrumb leading her deeper into the city’s shadowy underbelly. When her boss suspends her for asking the wrong questions, Marla keeps digging and finds surveillance dead zones in a city that watches everything. Witnesses swear they’ve seen her in places she’s never been. Case files bear her signature, but she doesn’t remember signing them. Nova Prosper’s polished façade begins to crack, revealing a conspiracy that infects every level of its government. As Marla peels back layer after layer of lies, she realizes the murders aren’t random; they’re messages meant for her alone. Someone is desperate to make her remember what she’s spent her life forgetting. Some mysteries shouldn’t be solved. Some doors shouldn’t be opened. And some detectives shouldn’t remember who they really are. A mind-bending sci-fi noir where every death is a clue, every memory a lie, and the only way out is through.
