Memory on Trial

In the tradition of Ferdinand von Schirach, a chilling legal and psychological thriller set in the fictional Commonwealth of New Albion. Archivist Elliot Vane spends years idolizing the executed serial killer Adrian Cross, until his obsession leads him to replicate the crimes. Following a courtroom closure during his first trial and a retrial that evokes the Sixth Amendment controversy of Weaver v. Massachusetts, Elliot's identity crumbles. As memory becomes the star witness that lies, the novel explores whether he is a copycat, the killer reborn, or a man destroyed by his own invented truth.
