    Olivia Finn is a memory expert at Charing Cross Hospital in London. One night, she receives an urgent call from the police at the Hotel Lutetia on Paris’s famous Left Bank.

    As people start dying in the present day, Olivia is plunged into a race against time to uncover the truth about Josephine and what really happened in room seven. Set among the glamorous streets of Paris, this addictive thriller looks at memory and asks: what if you suddenly remembered a dark secret from your past?
