Dangerous Memory

by Cynthia Rogan

When a young woman with amnesia is found on a local dock, Minnie is called in to help identify her. After a short stay in the hospital, one flash of the woman's memory returns: She has to stop someone from doing something, but she can't remember who or what, and the clock is ticking. She only has ten days. But every avenue turns into a dead end. Who is this woman and who is she trying to save? And can Minnie uncover the information they need in time?

About the author

There were five kids in my family and lots of noise. I learned early on that if I woke up in the middle of the night, I’d better take advantage of the silence. I’d write under the hall light until my eyes were heavy with sleep. Back then, I had a lot to say about how I wanted things to be. Like many writers, I wrote what I couldn’t bring myself to say aloud.
Once I discovered eavesdropping, I was amazed. I realized characters are everywhere. I’m one, you’re one, the jerk you just broke up with, the girl next door with Down’s syndrome, that boy in sixth grade who blushed every time his name was called, the man behind the counter at the pharmacy. And we all have our stories and our problems and our own way of looking at the world. And we all have the ability to touch someone else. We are never really alone.
As a fiction writer, I get to fabricate everybody’s history, try to see from different points of view. But I always do my best to understand who each character is and what made them the way they are. I believe that’s why people talk about my characters after they’ve finished reading the story.
I write novels, plays, poems, essays, short stories, do a bit of acting, and am a self-proclaimed doodle-ist.

Enjoyable mystery

Ms. Rogan writes the type of mystery that is a joy to read. Happily a good old fashioned who done it mixed with a how did they do it that leaves the reader flipping pages to see what mess Minnie Nun has found herself in this time. I so enjoyed watching the interaction between Minnie and Martin and the twist that developed there. I hope we see more of Danny as I believe he has so much to lend to the series.
