She is paralyzed by the past. He was robbed of the future.
The dreads are back. As a child, Meers Logan was haunted by memories of another time and place, always accompanied by the faint strains of elusive music. Now the hand of the past has reached out again. An envelope addressed to her and delivered to the Phoenix Foundation --- an institute dedicated to the recovery of past life memories --- contains a childhood drawing of an elaborate box that Meers recognizes... and a sheet from an auction catalogue identifying the object she spent years imagining as an eighteenth century gaming box.
Determined to unlock the mystery of who she once was, she travels to Vienna to find the box. With each step, she comes closer to remembering the connections between a clandestine reincarnationist society; the lost Memory Flute linked to Ludwig van Beethoven and rumored to open the door to the past; and to David Weiss, a journalist who knows all too well how the past affects the future.
Known internationally for his coverage of the Middle East, terrorism is more than a story for David --- it's a reality that cost him his family. He's seen every solution promised by security experts around the world --- and he's seen every solution fail. Now, in a concert hall in Vienna, he plans to force the world to understand the cost of those failures in a single act. Because those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it...

Critical Praise
"A riveting and suspenseful page-turner that throws open a magical door to the past, revealing how history may influence not just our individual destinies, but the future of us all."––– New York Times Bestselling Author Steve Berry
"I do not believe in reincarnation, but I do believe in this writer's ability to make you want to believe. This is the page-turner-you-cannot-go-to-sleep-till-it's-finished thriller of the year. I love Ludwig Van Beethoven, and now I love M.J. Rose's THE MEMORIST."––– Sheldon McArthur, NORTH BY NORTHWEST BOOKS, FOUNDER OF THE MYSTERY BOOKSHOP LOS ANGELES
"'All in time. All in time. All in time.' The phrase repeats metronomically at one point in M.J. Rose's THE MEMORIST, reminding us that time really is everything, particularly in this accomplished follow-up to THE REINCARNATIONIST.
Past and present do more than interweave in these pages; they wage fierce battles for primacy in the lives of the characters. Rose has crafted an intricate story that explores the mystical, emotional, political, and historical threads connecting a mysterious flute linked to Beethoven, a clandestine reincarnationist society, and the more contemporary horrors of international terrorism."––– Robert Gray, Northshire Bookstore, Manchester, VT
"M.J. Rose does it again with THE MEMORIST another breathtaking thriller from the prolific best-selling author of THE REINCARNATIONIST. In this engrossing novel Rose interweaves a multiplicity of themes involving a quest to resolve issues from the past, the music of Beethoven, a secret society and the threats of terrorism. Only M.J. Rose could bring these plot strands together for a credibly incredible denouement. For a memorable read, experience THE MEMORIST."––– Mystery Lovers Bookshop/Mary Alice Gorman
