When a series of high-profile deaths is linked to a lethal conspiracy, Detective Morgan Reed must risk everything to uncover the truth.

Technology pioneer Dr. Gerald Price is at the height of his scientific career. After years of research in the field of memory augmentation, he's just made a world-changing breakthrough.

But his life's work is mysteriously cut short by a fatal overdose in a seedy motel.

All evidence points to a suicide, and the case is closed . . . until Detective Morgan Reed begins working a series of similarly strange deaths.

As Reed joins forces with Detective Natalie De La Cruz to expose the lies and corporate treachery at the heart of the suicides, they discover a shocking plot that will put thousands of lives at risk.

In a world where cutting-edge technology meets dirty money, Reed and De La Cruz must navigate the labyrinths of an impenetrable network to save countless innocents from certain death . . . as their own lives hang in the balance.

Former detective and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brian Shea teams up with Raquel Byrnes for this explosive techno-thriller that will keep you up all night-perfect for fans of Michael Crichton and David Baldacci.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun mystery with a sci-fi twist
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024
In THE MEMORY BANK, by Brian Shea and Raquel Byrnes, Detective Morgan Reed, who has recently returned to duty, has been assigned a case that immediately looks fishy. Along with his new partner, Detective Natalie De La Cruz, Reed starts to peel back a larger conspiracy that is much bigger than the death he was investigating. Can Reed and De La Cruz uncover the truth before those who want those secrets to the remain secrets can end their investigation and their lives.
The book begins as a detective mystery, with complicated characters, a flawed protagonist and an perplexing case to figure out. Detective Reed is a often used trope of a protagonist: recently recovered from trauma, naturally good at his job, reticent but ultimately accepting of change, and unexplainably likable. But there is a reason this kind of character is used, the reader can't help but like Reed and want him to succeed. There are some colorful characters throughout which are fun to bump into along the way. As the story progresses, the plot takes a sci-fi turn that is believable and interesting and pleasantly adds more depth to the novel. The reasons for the evil conspiracy are murky and without a full understanding, the emotions of the antagonists felt a bit artificial. There are some unpredictable twists towards the end of the book and an exciting and rewarding ending.
Interesting book and definitely unpredictable, THE MEMORY BANK was certainly a fun read for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Was Reed Suspended?
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024
I received an ARC through "Severn Publishing" and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The story begins with Reed being brought back from leave and having Nat, a new detective, assigned as his partner. They are assigned to a case where they are to look into the suicide of a high-profile victim/ It seems that pressure is being put on the dept. to close it quickly. While they are looking into that case, another death by suicide occurs and upon arriving at the scene, Reed thinks that the facts aren't there for him to conclude suicide. It appears that the victims had their head damaged. As the two looked further, they started checking into other potential cases that bore similarities.

As they learned more, a picture of what this was all about and they began closing in on the killer. Reed heard a noise at a location where they believed the killer might be. Following his instincts, Reed continued following the noise. When he got into the vicinity where the suspect was, he was attacked and had to fight off the killer who died. Before he was rescued, Reed took an action which in the end got him suspended.

Reed on his own began following what information he had as he searched for another party who was believed to planning something that would cause a great deal of casualties. Reed finally narrowed down where this individual might be. Upon his arrival, Reed was ambushed and taken to an unknown location. Reed was able to break his bindings and chase this individual.

To discover what the head damage related to, what Reed did when he waited for his rescue, who Reed searched for after he was suspended and what he learned was so important, then you need to read this book. The ending does leave ope3n questions at the end.

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
Good story. A lot happens in this book. Reed is very smart and puts himself in a lot of dangerous situations. Reed and Nat work together as partners to solve a series of terrible crimes, although Reed tries to protect her. The technology written about in this book is used for evil, power and money.

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024
Trying to bring old school into tech world. I like the attempt, but it just didn't work for me. Under developed characters, bringing new characters in for a moment to create another issue to solve, detailed descriptions of buildings that don't seem to matter. I don't know, it was just too much. Doubt I will continue the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lethal invention
Reviewed in India on March 19, 2024

A scientist's death is suspect as he was going to share his knowledge with a reputed reporter. The reporter was Detective Morgan Reed's girlfriend who was murdered. Reed discovers that the invention is a lethal weapon with serious repercussions and the mastermind has a diabolical plan. A mind blowing techno thriller which had me on the edge of my seat. The description of the weapon and its effects is terrifying. I was enthralled by the well crafted plot.
