CAN A MURDER VICTIM'S OWN MEMORIES BE USED TO SOLVE A CRIME? Detective Veronica Sloan isn't shocked by much. Having lived through the worst terrorist attacks in history-which destroyed much of Washington, D.C.-she's immune to even the most vicious brutality. But even she is stunned by the discovery of a murder in the basement of the under-reconstruction White House. Sloan and FBI Agent Jeremy Sykes have been assigned to investigate the homicide because the victim was a participant in a top-secret experiment. Veronica has been training for just this kind of case, waiting to use her special skills, anxious to learn if a recording device implanted in a victim's head can help solve their murder....before the killer strikes again.
