The Memory Experiment

Five Versions. One Truth. Which Kate Is Real?

Kate Lawson discovers there are five versions of herself living across the city.

Same face. Same childhood trauma. Different lives. Different memories.

One Kate is a successful lawyer. Another is a struggling artist. A third never escaped their hometown. Each believes she is the original—and each is starting to remember fragments that were deliberately erased.

It begins with a reflection that doesn't move when she does. Eyes in the mirror filled with purpose that isn't hers. What feels like a psychological break becomes something far more terrifying when the Kates track one another down and uncover the truth: they are part of a secret human experiment hidden beneath decades of family betrayal.

Someone has been orchestrating their lives from the shadows. Observing outcomes. Correcting deviations. Erasing failures.

But the experiment isn't over.

If Kate uncovers who created them, the experiment ends. And if it ends, she may not survive what she remembers. She must decide which version of herself to believe—and which memories are real—before the architect behind their lives decides she's no longer useful.

Perfect for fans of Dark Matter, The Midnight Library, doppelganger fiction, identity mysteries, psychological thrillers about memory manipulation, dark science experiments, and suspense novels where reality fractures and trust is deadly.
