 Local Author Talk: Brooke L. French
Tess can relive memories, but her gift comes at a cost. When an encoded document pivotal to a case is destroyed, she searches her memory and finds a phone number. Luke answers from the wreckage of a downed plane, where a virus is leaking from the cargo. As they run from a psychopath who will stop at nothing to retrieve the document, the code hidden in Tess's mind may be the only thing that can keep the outbreak contained. However, using her gift to decipher it could kill her if the virus, or whoever engineered it, doesn't get to her first.
