The Memory Thief

Ren Vasik investigates crimes committed in the medium of consciousness itself. Identity theft takes on a different meaning when someone can literally steal your memories, dissolve your personality, or erase your future. Ren is methodical, precise, and certain that every phenomenon has an explanation.

When a case leads Ren to Maud — a navigator whose territory has been violated in ways that defy Ren's framework — the investigation becomes personal. The evidence doesn't fit. The methodology fails. And Ren discovers that the most dangerous threat to a rationalist isn't the inexplicable — it's the moment when the inexplicable becomes undeniable.

A philosophical noir set in the landscape of the mind. The Memory Thief is the third novel in The Navigations.
