HE IS ALIVE. SHE REMEMBERS HIS DEATH.
At 2:09 a.m., federal death-memory investigator Lena Price dies for fifty-one seconds-and returns carrying the final moments of Jonah Vale, a man who is still alive.
In the flooded dark of a future Manhattan, Jonah calls her his wife. Then he begs her not to save him.
Before Lena can decide whether the impossible memory is a warning, evidence, or something more dangerous, the engineer whose death triggered it is exposed as a murder victim. A witness vanishes beneath Grand Central. And a citywide infrastructure system begins reproducing details from the death Lena remembers.
Every clue draws Lena and Jonah closer-to the room where he dies, to the catastrophe gathering beneath New York, and to a relationship neither of them has chosen.
With a record storm closing in, they must discover who is turning a possible future into an engineering blueprint before New York is forced to live it.
But the nearer Lena comes to saving Jonah, the more terrifying the question becomes:
If loving him is part of the disaster, is refusing him freedom-or the first step toward making it inevitable?
THE MAN I DIED WITH is a propulsive near-future speculative thriller about memory, murder, consent, and a love that refuses to become a verdict.
