The Echo Man

She remembers everything. Including the case that haunts her twenty-two years later.

Detective Cassandra Vale has hyperthymesia-perfect autobiographical memory. She can recall every crime scene, every victim, every case she's ever worked. It's her greatest gift. And her deepest curse.

When a body is discovered posed like a famous cold case from 1999, Cass recognizes details that were never made public. Someone is recreating solved murders with disturbing precision. Someone who knows the system inside and out.

As more "echoes" appear-each tied to forgotten victims and failed investigations-Cass discovers a terrifying pattern. The killer isn't just copying old cases. He's forcing people to remember what the system buried.

And Cass's name is on his list.

Partnered with Detective Ethan Ward, Cass must track down a ghost who's been invisible for fifteen years. But the deeper they dig, the more they uncover a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of law enforcement. A conspiracy that begins with one question:

Who really killed Alyssa Drew in 2003?

With time running out and her own life on the line, Cass must confront the case she never solved-and the truth she's been running from for two decades.

Because some memories refuse to stay buried.

THE ECHO MAN is a gripping psychological thriller perfect for fans of Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series and John Katzenbach's The Analyst. The first book in The Vale & Ward Files introduces an unforgettable detective duo and a mystery that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
