When a woman’s fiancé is resurrected from the dead, the wonders—and dangers—of science collide in a provocative and darkly romantic novel by the author of The Flightless Birds of New Hope.

What would you do if the love of your life came back from the dead—but didn’t remember you?

It’s been a year of mourning for journalist Bee Haris since her fiancé, Sal, died in a car accident. No body. No closure. No goodbyes. Just grief. Then Bee receives a cryptic invitation: Come find what was taken.

The summons leads her to Sal’s billionaire family, the founders of Vale Industries and groundbreakers in experimental resurrection biotechnology. Inside their Manhattan fortress Bee comes face-to-face with the unbelievable. Sal, very much alive. But with every memory of Bee erased.

Infiltrating the Vale estate, and under the watchful eye of Sal’s mother, Dagmar, Bee is desperate to reawaken what’s left of the man she knew. To do it, she accepts a devil’s bargain from Dagmar that comes with a price. In the midst of an ever-darkening conspiracy, Bee must confront a terrifying possibility: What if some things are better left buried?
