THE FIRST MEMORY IS WRONG

Helen Mercer has spent eleven years teaching people one terrifying truth: memory lies. Now her own may be the most dangerous lie of all. When an investigative journalist vanishes from Room Nine of an exclusive London hotel, police recover one impossible piece of evidence-a recording of Helen's voice. There is only one problem. Helen has never met the missing woman. And she has no memory of making the recording. Then Helen sees Sebastian Crowe, the enigmatic owner of the hotel, and her body recognises a man her mind insists is a stranger. Seven years ago, Helen lost six hours of her life. Sebastian remembers them. As buried memories begin to surface, Helen is pulled into a secret experiment built around fear, identity and the manipulation of memory-and toward a man she desires almost as much as she distrusts. But someone has already rewritten part of her past. Someone knows what really happened in Room Nine. And the closer Helen gets to the truth, the more dangerous one question becomes: What if the first memory she recovers is the one designed to deceive her? The First Memory Is Wrong is a dark, seductive psychological thriller about memory, obsession, dangerous attraction and the terrifying difference between what we remember and what really happened.
