"Where Memories Lie" by Irene Lee

Memory is the crime scene.
Magic is the weapon.

One fractured partnership stands in the way of a magical conspiracy that threatens the system holding society together.

Special Agent Elias Sinclair is a memory magic specialist with the FBI. Eighteen months ago he made a tragic mistake and seven agents died. His partnership with Alexander Sutton was destroyed, and ever since he has blamed himself and questioned his own magic.

Special Agent Alexander Sutton, a combat magic specialist, was injured the same night. He went back to the job without the partner he once called his best friend.

Now a wave of magical terrorism in Chicago forces them back together. The hunt for a terrorist reveals something much older and far more dangerous than anyone expected. As the city teeters on the edge of panic and secrets long buried are uncovered, survival may depend on whether they can learn to trust each other—and their magic—again.

Where Memories Lie is an urban fantasy thriller about broken friendships, weaponized memory, and the dangerous ties between magic and power.

Perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London and HBO’s True Detective.
