The Memory Thief: A Psychological Thriller Novel

di David Blackwood (Autore)

David Blackwood, 2025

You wake up in a hospital with no memory of the last six months. They tell you there was an accident. They tell you your name is Riley Chen. They tell you everything will be okay. They're lying. Riley Chen wakes up with six months of her life erased. The doctors say it was a car accident. Her brother Alex says she's lucky to be alive. Her therapist says the memories will come back with time. But Riley knows something is wrong. The apartment she supposedly lives in feels like a stranger's home. The job she supposedly loves doesn't match the calluses on her hands. And the fiancé she supposedly had? She can't remember his face—only the faint indent on her ring finger where a ring used to be. Then she finds the notebook. Hidden in her apartment, written in her own handwriting: a red leather journal filled with details of a life she doesn't remember. A life as a fearless investigative journalist. A life spent exposing corruption. A life that ended the night someone decided Riley knew too much. The messages start coming from someone claiming to be Liam Chase—her former fiancé, supposedly killed in the same accident that took her memories. He says the crash wasn't an accident. He says her memories weren't lost; they were stolen. And he says the people who did it are still watching. As Riley digs deeper, she discovers NeuralBridge Institute—a cutting-edge research facility that promises to cure PTSD by erasing traumatic memories. But their real purpose is darker: they are perfecting the technology to erase entire identities and replace them with compliant, controllable personalities. Riley wasn't in a car accident. She was their experiment. Now she's remembering. And they can't let her remember everything. With help from Vera Sanders—a forensic accountant who survived her own memory wipe—Riley has seventy-two hours to recover her stolen past, expose a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of government, and find Liam before the people who erased her finish the job permanently. The Memory Thief is a psychological thriller about identity, trauma, and the danger of turning the human mind into editable data—and the terrifying question at its core: if you lost yourself completely, would you fight to get back, or be afraid of who you used to be?
