About the story

Mason Maloney has arranged his attic life around code, rituals and keeping other people at a manageable distance. Cassandra O’Neill’s death makes that arrangement difficult to maintain. Detective Bria Friday wants answers, Tim notices too much and Arty Armitage knows how to make the past present again. As the investigation reaches into art, money and old guilt, Mason’s carefully controlled world begins to fracture. Start Memento Mori here: dark Irish psychological crime with explicit intimacy and relationships that complicate the evidence.
