What if the story of your life was written by someone else? Meredith Corrigan, a linguistic engineer who deconstructs meaning for a living, wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the accident that left her injured and her husband missing. The police see a victim-or a suspect. But the voice on her hidden recorder warns her not to trust anyone, not even her own memory. As Meredith pieces together fragments of a past she can't remember, she discovers that her husband, Simon, was involved in a dangerous project called Chameleon-a scheme to rewrite identities, erase histories, and disappear without a trace. Now, a man named Alistair Finch, a context architect who trades in narratives, is hunting her. And the only clues lie in a cryptic blue ledger and a series of voice memos she left for herself. Engineering Absence is a mind-bending psychological thriller where language is a weapon, memory is a trap, and the only way out is to rewrite the story before it rewrites you.
