Synopsis

Struggling new single mom, Natasha Walker, is desperate to get back to her job as an investigative journalist. When she receives an anonymous tip about The Memory Foundation, a secretive research clinic that promises the cure to memory loss, she is instantly intrigued. Given her mother’s dementia diagnosis, the story hits close to home. Despite the perilous snowbound location, she’s determined to uncover the truth about the mysterious founders and their patients.

Meanwhile, Lydia Hunter has faithfully worked alongside her husband, Wade, the founder of The Memory Foundation, to revolutionize the way the world understands memory. But the research is expensive, and they’re hemorrhaging money. In order to gain more financial support, they open up the facility to an exclusive group of wealthy guests, promising that each one will experience a “memory flight” that will allow them to relive precious memories.

But when the wealthy clients arrive at The Memory Foundation, set high in the Alps in an area prone to avalanches, all is not what it seems. And when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and power outages and a growing sense of paranoia begin affecting everybody, it becomes clear that no one at The Memory Foundation will ever be the same—and not everyone will survive the week.

‘Nothing is quite what it seems in this white-knuckle ride of a book about memory and manipulation. Add in a killer twist and an ice-bound, avalanche-prone setting and you’ve got all the ingredients for an unputdownable thriller.’
Kate Riordan, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Heatwave and Summer Fever

‘Amanda Reynolds is terrific at capturing characters with broken hearts and broken pasts. The thrill of this novel is not only the propulsive plot and mystery at the heart of the Memory Foundation, but also the secrets that each character keeps. As a reader, we’re so desperate to find out, it’s impossible to put this book down. In a wild, beautiful, snowy setting, this novel caught me by the throat and kept me awake deep into the night.’

‘A locked room mystery with a sci-fi twist; original, claustrophobic and chilling’
Jackie Kabler, USA Today bestselling author of The Revenge Plot and Run for Your Life

The Memory Foundation is a chilling, unsettling and beautifully written thriller. With two narrative strands as unpredictable underfoot as the avalanche-prone setting, this is a gripping, clever novel about memory, control and choice.’
