Her recent memories are missing. Her original, she\\u2019s told, is dead. If that\\u2019s true, what does that make her? The secrets of Con\\u2019s disorienting new life are buried deep. So are those of how and why she died. To uncover the truth, Con is retracing the last days she can recall, crossing paths with a detective who\\u2019s just as curious. On the run, she needs someone she can trust. Because only one thing has become clear: Con is being marked for murder\\u2014all over again.
