Memories Don't Lie

Sarah Wilson, orphaned niece of Lieutenant John Wilson, is determined to escape his restrictive upbringing and find her place in the world.

Her journey takes a deadly turn when she uncovers secrets about her past, hidden deep in her mother's memories, that threaten everything Sarah wants.
They could cost her everything she holds dear-and her life.

Pauline Yates, Australian author of horror and dark fiction, and Australian Shadows Awards finalist, debuts her first science fiction novel-fast-paced action/adventure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Don't let him find her.

MY DEAD MOTHER'S DESPERATE PLEA takes my thoughts hostage, shattering my composure and threatening the freedom I long for. Why am I remembering this when nothing's happened in the last thirteen years? All my focus needs to be on passing my final sharpshooting assessment. The cryptic recollection should be the last thing on my mind.

Irritated at the intrusion, I block out her voice and pace around my barracks room as if running the course. A win will earn me the Tactical Skills Program's top graduate title, and I'm determined to claim it. It's the only way to show Marrick Daniels I'd be perfect for his C.S.R. team. His crime-fighting unit is the best and his vacant position unprecedented. I'll never get another chance. But the memory continues to haunt me.
