"In the near future, advances in medicine and quantum computing make human cloning a reality. For the wealthy, cheating death is the ultimate luxury. For young Constance "Con" D'Arcy, who was gifted her own clone by her late aunt, it's terrifying. After a routine monthly upload of her consciousness--stored for that inevitable transition--something goes wrong. When Con wakes up in the clinic, it's eighteen months later. Her recent memories are missing. Her original, she's told, is dead. If that's true, what does that make her? The secrets of Con's disorienting new life are buried deep. So are those of how and why she died. To uncover the truth, Con is retracing the last days she can recall, crossing paths with a detective who's just as curious. On the run, she needs someone she can trust. Because only one thing has become clear: Con is being marked for murder--all over again"-- Provided by publisher

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Thought-provoking, strange, and readable submitted by robinpollak on July 26, 2023, 7:37pm This was a compelling read, and I definitely wanted to keep turning pages. But it was also a weird one, and maybe more ambitious than the author could really pull off thoroughly.
