A mesmerising SF thriller from a master of the genre. Hap Thompson is a REMtemp, working the night hours, having peoples anxiety dreams for them. For the first time in his life, Haps making big money and that should have been enough Hap Thompson has finally found something he can do better than anyone else. And its legal. Almost. Haps a REMtemp, working the night hours, having peoples anxiety dreams for them. For the first time in his life, Haps making big money and that should have been enough. But then Hap is made an offer he just cant refuse: proxying memories instead of dreams. This is not almost illegal this is illegal in bold with flashing lights. The last thing the cops want are criminals who can pass lie detector tests and Hap knows it, but hes relying on the promise that he wont have to carry anything that relates to a criminal offence. Big mistake. Before he knows whats happening, Hap is locked in a vicious nightmare that threatens to tear his mind and his life apart And, as in all Michael Marshall Smith novels, that is just the start.
