Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

They took her memories. Then they took everything else.Winnie Flint spent twelve years as an ICU nurse reading the silent signals of failing bodies. Now, the only body she monitors is her mother's. Lenore Flint, a former librarian battling vascular dementia, resides at Bridgevale Senior Living-a luxury facility built on a promise of trust and meticulous care.But when Lenore's wedding ring vanishes and her savings account begins draining through perfectly forged withdrawal slips, Winnie realizes the pristine facility is a facade for a calculated, predatory operation. The architect is Margot Schaffer, a compassionate, hyper-competent executive director who uses her institutional authority to systematically loot her most vulnerable residents.When Winnie starts digging, she triggers a terrifying counter-attack. Margot doesn't just steal money; she weaponizes the medical system. She fabricates behavioral reports to justify heavy sedatives, accelerating the patients' cognitive decline to keep them compliant. She drafts forged legal agreements implicating Winnie herself, turning the daughter's investigation into an alleged symptom of grief-driven paranoia.Isolated by the facility, betrayed by her indebted brother, and facing a coordinated legal threat, Winnie has one remaining witness: her own mother. Because even as Lenore's mind dissolves, the lifelong librarian has secretly cataloged the thefts in the margins of a discarded book.
