The Memory Bank

By: Baker, Rhoshell

THE PAST CAN BE SOLD. THE FUTURE CAN BE BOUGHT. BUT SOME MEMORIES REFUSE TO STAY LOCKED AWAY.

Seven years ago, Mara Vale's six-year-old daughter vanished from a museum field trip. The case went cold. The world moved on. Mara didn't.

Now she works at The Memory Bank, a corporation that extracts and sells human memories for profit. She follows the rules. She never asks why. Until a dying man pushes a black transfer drive through her intake window and whispers:

"Your daughter is alive."

In one impossible moment, Mara discovers that Lena didn't disappear-she was taken. And Mara's own memory of that final day was surgically removed to hide the truth.

To find her daughter, Mara must:

Outrun corporate assassins hunting the stolen drive

Navigate a black market where children's memories are the most valuable currency

Uncover Cathedral-a secret facility where stolen minds are weaponized

Face the woman who built a billion-dollar empire on other people's pain

But the deeper Mara digs, the more she realizes: Lena wasn't just kidnapped. She was engineered. And the system that took her was built around a terrifying truth-some children can rebuild memories faster than machines can erase them.

Now Mara must decide: How much of her past is she willing to recover? And how much of her daughter's future is she willing to fight for?

Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Margaret Atwood, The Memory Bank is a speculative thriller that asks: What happens when the most intimate part of who we are-our memories-becomes a commodity? And what would you risk to find the one person you were told to forget?
