Meer Logan has been plagued with fragments of an elusive
memory since she was a child. The episodes would always be
accompanied by a melody that she could never quite
replicate, and a vision of a box that she would draw over
and over again. Her father always believed that she was
remembering her past lives while her mother insisted that
they were false memories. Now that she is grown, Meer is
quite content to forget about those haunting visions;
however, her father has found a box in Vienna that looks
quite like the one she used to draw. Is this the box that
plagued her childhood? What secrets does it contain?
Meer has little choice but to see what mystery the box
holds for her. Once in Austria, she follows the clues left
in the box by Beethoven himself. She is quickly led into a
puzzle that perhaps only she can solve, and the prize is a
memory tool, a flute that has the power to unlock past
lives and possibly destroy mankind. While she is out
following her path, David Yalom, a journalist, is plotting
revenge. His family was murdered in a terrorist attack,
and he wants to make a statement. Since Vienna is hosting
a conference with many high-profile people making an
appearance, the philharmonic concert is sure to be well
attended and the perfect target for his plot. As the
concert draws nearer, David and Meer find themselves in a
situation neither of them could have foreseen. What will
be the repercussions? Will they be doomed to forever
repeat the past?
M. J. Rose has written a brilliant thriller. She
seamlessly weaves the past with the present to create a
mesmerizing and suspenseful tale. This incredible story
has many subplots going on and Ms. Rose balances them
beautifully to bring them together for quite an explosive
evening. I was so enthralled with this tale that I had to
keep reading to see how all the pieces of the puzzle were
going to fit together. THE MEMORIST is a truly breath-
taking novel that conquers the concept of reincarnation in
an extraordinary way. I would count this as one of the
best thrillers that I have ever read.
The dreads are back
As a child, Meer Logan was haunted by memories of another
time and place, always accompanied by the faint strains of
elusive music. Now the hand of the past has reached out
again in the form of a strange letter that sets her on a
journey to Vienna to unlock the mystery of who she once
was.
With each step she comes closer to remembering
the connections between a clandestine reincarnationist
society, a lost flute linked to Ludwig van Beethoven, and
David Yalon, a journalist who understands all too well how
the past affects the future.
David knows loss
firsthand--terrorism is a reality that cost him his family.
He's seen every solution promised by security experts around
the world--and he's seen every solution fail. Now, in a
concert hall in Vienna, he plans to force the world to
understand the cost of those failures in a single violent
act. Because those who cannot remember the past are
condemned to repeat it...
