This book is a great get-you-thinking about how your life could be different if you were to lose your memory. Imagine getting sick from the common influenza, taking a groundbreaking antibiotic, and then forgetting that you were proposed to or had gotten a job promotion. This is what happens to several different characters in this book. Mr. Levinson brings back his New York Police Department forensic detective, Dr. Phil D'Amato, to figure out a series of killings in New York while people are losing parts of their memory after getting sick with the flu.

Mr. Levinson does a great job incorporating subtle science fiction and police detective work. This reader also thinks that this book could be put under the medical mystery genre with the losing of memory and how antibiotics take a big part of the mystery. This is a fast-paced, interesting book that fans of science fiction, police detectives, and medical mysteries can enjoy. The story line is easy to follow and the reader does not get confused with the medical terms because they are explained throughout the story. The characters are well developed and easy to like.

Overall, this book is enjoyable, easy to follow, and fast-paced. Mr. Levinson has done a great job with his second Dr. Phil D'Amato full-length book and this reader hopes that he continues writing about D'Amato and his adventures in New York City.
