The Mirror Mind

What if the drug that made you perfect... erased who you were? Detective Lena Kross takes N-Focus and solves the impossible murder in 72 hours. She also forgets her son's face. When biotech startup Cortiva releases a drug that silences doubt, fear, and the Default Mode Network itself, Lena uses it to hunt a killer. For three days she is flawless. Fearless. Inhuman. Then she crashes. Twelve victims are hooked to IVs, their brains forced into a distributed supercomputer. The mastermind is dead. But the last dose remains. Now Lena must choose: flush the drug and stay broken, distracted, human... or take it, solve every cold case, and remember how to be a mother. But N-Focus doesn't give. It takes. And the price is the self. Perfect for readers who love: ¿ Andy Weir-level hard science with real neuroscience ¿ Blake Crouch-style memory thrillers like Recursion ¿ Greg Egan substrate horror and biopunk conspiracies ¿ Female-led police procedurals with a sci-fi twist Some problems deserve a distracted mind.
