Description
When a newly-appointed Catholic bishop disappears shortly after receiving a macabre gift in the post – a severed human tongue – the Vatican calls in Peter Ash of the European Crime Division to help. Enclosed with the package was a bizarre note: Memini Bonn. I remember Bonn.
At the same time, Ash’s Swedish counterpart Frankie Varg is investigating the murder of a prominent politician. When it transpires that the two cases are linked, the pair team up to become enmeshed in a baffling investigation where nothing is as it first appears. What exactly is the significance of Bonn? And who is so determined to unleash those carefully buried memories …?

A grisly, gritty thriller!
‘The Memory Man’ by Steven Savile is the debut, grisly, gritty thriller, for the Eurocrimes Division to solve. We are introduced to two stalwart detectives, Peter Ash and his female counterpart, Frankie Varg of Sweden.
The tense drama begins with the murder of a Catholic Bishop, having first received a parcel containing a severed human tongue! The Vatican naturally need answers. Soon even more human body parts are posted to certain characters, but the question is why? Also, each time there is a baffling note saying, “Memini Bonn.” (Remember Bonn)
Ash and Varg are on the case, and both are led in different directions, on a series of jaunts around Europe, until finally, all becomes clear, with almost disastrous consequences! I'm sure that some readers will predict the finale, however, I found this debut novel a truly enjoyable read, but it certainly is not for the faint-hearted!
I shall look out for the next in the series, where I’m sure the characters will be developed further, so thank you Steven Savile!

Steven Savile is an extremely talented writer. He takes us on a journey through time and place to solve the mystery of a serial killing spree.
While I enjoyed this book – a lot – I don't feel it's quite up to the standard I've become accustomed to after reading some of Savile's other books.
The Memory Man is very well-written, with clever dialogue and intriguing characters, but the story is a little predictable and didn't really have the huge 'Oh My God' moments. Maybe my expectations were a little high, but I found myself waiting for that massive twist that never really came, even though the story did take some very interesting turns.
Overall, an excellent read.
