Doctor Stephen Colllingsworth is on the verge of a breakthrough in his research on an unlimited source of energy, when he loses his memories of the past year.
He suspects he has amnesia, until he meets Inspector Ninoska who is convinced that the serial killer she was hunting erased her memories of the past months because she was getting close to catching him.
Ninoska only has four weeks before the killer strikes again. While she continues her search, Stephen seeks an explanation to the mystery of the disappearing memories. Could they have been stolen by aliens or by that creativity consultant that he and Ninoska consulted a few months ago?
When people start losing their memories all over the world, Stephen and Ninoska join forces to stop the memory snatcher before it paralyses the whole planet.

Pascal Inard has published novels, non-fiction books and short stories, as well as articles in online magazines. He writes mostly in English, but sometimes in French or in both languages.
He lives a creative life in Cheltenham, a suburb of Melbourne in Australia with his illustrator and crafter wife Isabella and their three children. When he's not writing or photographing, he manages IT projects for an Australian bank.
Pascal writes during his commute on the Frankston train line, and carries a notebook everywhere he goes, because he knows that inspiration can strike at any time. He has found that self-publishing has given him tremendous opportunities for connecting with readers. "Every time someone reads my words," he says, "he or she makes them live again in a unique way that I probably hadn't imagined. If it wasn't for self-publishing, my words would have been lost to the world."
