Sinossi

In "Quantum Memory Thieves," a gripping near-future thriller, Dr. Aisha Patel finds herself entangled in a web of conspiracy and ethical dilemmas. Set in a world where memories can be digitally stored and manipulated, this novel pushes the boundaries of neuroscience and speculative technology.   
As Aisha uncovers a plot to steal and alter quantum-encrypted memories, she's thrust into a reality where nothing is as it seems. The story delves deep into the nature of consciousness and identity, questioning what makes us human when our very recollections can be bought, sold, and changed at will.   
With her own memories compromised, Aisha must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting perceptions and blurred realities. The narrative seamlessly blends psychological tension with hard science fiction, creating an immersive experience that challenges readers to ponder the consequences of advanced memory technology in our lives.

Choked Off

Andrea Frazer

The villagers of Stoney Cross were bustling about like hyperactive ants. In gardens, houses, and the village hall, figures flitted to and fro, making last-minute preparations for their 'Great Event': the first Stoney Cross Arts Festival, which was due to commence on Saturday. The enlisting of a local radio presenter to advertise then review their efforts had added an extra frisson of excitement. 
But the delight soon turns to dismay when the broadcaster, Marcus Willoughby, actually moves into a house in Stoney Cross the day before the Festival. He turns out to be someone from various people's pasts; someone whom they had hoped never to see again, and who greets them with recognition and malice in his eyes. To those he had never met before, he simply proves to be a smarmy, spiteful bigot, who proceeds to take great delight in verbally shredding their artistic efforts. 
When he is found dead at his desk in his new home, no crocodile tears are shed. His demise is even presented on air, during his pre-recorded radio show Marcus having been 'choked off' for good while in full flow. His arrival in the village had obviously caused a few already guilty hearts to beat faster, and precipitates the hasty confessions of dark deeds thought long since buried. 
Into this welter of emotions join DI Harry Falconer and his erstwhile Acting Detective Sergeant, 'Davey' Carmichael, riding shotgun as they enter 'bandit' country once more.
