The Weight of Un-Seeing

About this book

In the sprawling, skeletal city of Omission, the Law of the Present dictates that anything older than twenty-four hours is destroyed by Censors to prevent 'Social Friction.' Elias is a forty-five-year-old Dust-Sifter with a pronounced limp, relegated to sweeping the ashes of erased history. While cleaning the gutters, he discovers an impossible anomaly: an indestructible metal cylinder that survived the Censors' daily Flash-Burning. Inside is a fragmented record of a murder that the state has systematically erased from existence. As Elias investigates the crime, his investigation triggers suppressed memories of his own past, intertwining with the victim's life in a non-linear puzzle. Navigating a dangerous underground of memory-hoarders and evading the relentless Censor Aimo, Elias must piece together a timeline that Omission has sworn to forget. His quest to solve the mystery threatens to unravel the collective amnesia of the entire city.
