THE DEBUT THRILLER FROM N.E. SOLOMONS ON THE ROAD TO DISCOVERY,
EVEN THE DEAD HAVE SECRETS. High up on a mountain road in the
Balkans, former Olympic cyclist Heather Bishop races her journalist
boyfriend Ryan. But when he suddenly disappears during the ride,
suspicion falls on her. Local police inspector Simo Subotic already
has his hands full investigating two mutilated bodies that have
washed up on the banks of the River Drina. Something is telling him
that these two cases are connected but nothing could prepare him
for what is to come. Only together can Simo and Heather hope to
uncover the truth in time. Their search not only exposes the
darkness of Ryan's past but exhumes dangerous secrets of a region
still reeling from the trauma of war. Are some secrets so
devastating that they should remain buried?
What happens when an old spook loses his mind? Does the Service have a retirement home for those who know too many secrets but don’t remember they’re secret? Or does someone take care of the senile spy for good?
These are the questions River Cartwright must ask when his grandfather, a Cold War–era operative, starts to forget to wear pants and begins to suspect everyone in his life has been sent by the Service to watch him.
But River has other things to worry about. A bomb goes off in the middle of a busy shopping center and kills forty innocent civilians. The agents of Slough House have to figure out who is behind this act of terror before the situation escalates.

Never trust other people's memories, and watch out for your own
Sean Whittlesea was there when his wife was murdered. He saw the
light leave her eyes. He held her dead body in his arms. He knows
he wept, but he cannot recollect a single other detail. Tormented
by the tragedy, Sean relives the horror over and over again. As he
struggles to recall what really happened, his imagination serves up
an endless chain of scenarios. The truth, however, remains hidden
in the vault of his memory, and the key is nowhere to be found.
Nearly two decades later, Sean, now remarried and a father of two,
wins a bizarre contest hosted by his eccentric boss. The prize is
the Memory Palace, a state-of-the-art black box that purportedly
allows its possessor to relive every moment he has ever
experienced, playing out all the memories on a screen. While the
small machine at first appears to be the answer to the mystery
surrounding the death of his wife, it instead upends Sean's life.
He pushes his family further and further away as the Memory Palace
forces him to confront harsh realities and difficult questions that
he lacks the strength to face or answer. Spiraling downward, Sean
encounters increasingly harrowing challenges that force him to
realize that his memory is not the only thing at stake. To recover
the truth about his past, Sean must fight for his very life.
