Elias Vance has a curse: everyone who meets him forgets him within 24 hours. Friends, lovers, employers—they all wake up with no memory of his existence. He survives by leaving notes and recordings, a ghost made of flesh in a world that perpetually erases him. Then he meets Mira Chen. She remembers him. For the first time in thirty-seven years, Elias feels seen. But the next morning, Mira is found dead—brutally murdered in her own apartment. The police have no leads, no suspects, and no memory of the distraught stranger who shows up at the crime scene. Elias is completely invisible to them. Now he must solve the murder of the only person who ever remembered him, while the entire world keeps forgetting he exists. He leaves himself notes, creates elaborate systems of reminders, and races against his own curse to piece together the truth. But as he digs deeper, Elias discovers Mira's death wasn't random. She was investigating something—something that got her killed. And the conspiracy she uncovered reaches into the highest levels of power. The killer has no idea a ghost is hunting them. They don't know Elias exists. They can't remember him. But Elias remembers everything. And he's running out of sticky notes.
