Samenvatting:

Unforgettable and impossible to put down-this novel is heart-pounding suspense at its best. A stunning debut. -Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures and author of The Lovely Reckless

The Hidden Memory of Objects is a highly original and beautifully written debut mystery novel with a speculative element, perfect for readers who loved Gayle Forman s If I Stay.

Megan Brown s brother, Tyler, is dead, but the cops are killing him all over again. They say he died of a drug overdose, potentially suicide-something Megan cannot accept. Determined to figure out what happened in the months before Tyler s death, Megan turns to the things he left behind. After all, she understands the stories objects can tell-at fifteen, she is a gifted collage artist with a flair for creating found-object pieces. However, Megan now realizes that her artistic talent has developed into something more: she can see memories attached to some of Tyler s belongings-and those memories reveal a brother she never knew.

Enlisting the help of an artifact detective who shares her ability and specializes in murderabilia-objects tainted by violence or the deaths of their owners-Megan finds herself drawn into a world of painful personal and national memories. Along with a trusted classmate and her brother's charming friend, she chases down the troubling truth about Tyler across Washington, DC, while reclaiming her own stifled identity with a vengeance.
