Aftermirror: Some reflections never fade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798285841746)

When a woman's body washes up entangled in the log booms beneath the Port Mann Bridge, veteran detective Elaine Robson senses something far darker than a random drowning. Her investigation unearths Eden - a clandestine government experiment that fractured women's minds in the name of "healing" by rewriting their memories. Thought long buried, Eden has returned as TESSER, a glossy new platform promising digital reincarnation and emotional peace. Millions line up to surrender their pain, but at what cost?

Only one survivor remembers the truth: Lyra, the first human "Surrogate," who holds the blueprint for Eden's cruel cycles. As Elaine races against time-and the very technology she once trusted-she must decide whether to dismantle TESSER forever or reshape its core with Lyra's unflinching honesty. Every loop through memory, every reflection in the mirror, brings Elaine closer to the ultimate question: Can true peace exist without the freedom to feel-and remember-everything?

AFTERMIRROR blends heart-pounding detective suspense, mind-bending sci-fi, and the moral terror of memory itself. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Lisa Jackson, and early Stephen King, it asks: When you erase your pain, what do you lose... and who remains?
