In a city where memories can be rewritten, the only witness to murder is the detective who shouldn't remember.

Marla Espinoza was Nova Prosper's best cop. Until a burned man appeared on her computer screen, a man the department swears was never there.

Now, scorched bodies are randomly turning up across the city. Each crime scene triggers memories Marla never lived: a sister erased from existence, children she saved from cartels that never touched this city, case files bearing her signature on investigations she doesn't remember. The victims form a pattern only she can see. Someone is sending her a message written in corpses.

When her own department turns against her, Marla goes rogue. But in Nova Prosper's surveillance blind spots, witnesses swear they've seen her at crime scenes before the bodies drop. The city's pristine façade is cracking, revealing a conspiracy that reaches from street level to the highest towers.

The murders aren't random. They're breadcrumbs.

And they're leading Marla to a truth about herself that someone spent years burying.

Some detectives solve cases. Others become them.

THE CHRONOS PROTOCOL is a mind-bending sci-fi noir where Philip K. Dick meets True Detective. Perfect for readers who loved Altered Carbon, Westworld, and Dark Matter, stories where memory is a weapon, reality is negotiable, and the biggest mystery is who you really are.

Discover what Marla forgot. Before it kills her.

This is book 2 in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone novel.
