One of the people she consults is a noted Lincoln expert who has the same problem Megan does with touching objects that have strong memories attached to them.This was a fascinating mystery. Megan's mother organizes events at Ford's Theater. The whole Lincoln assassination figures prominently in this mystery. Tyler was focused on him in the days before he died. One of the pieces is a much read, annotated, and dog-eared biography of John Wilkes Booth. Her new acquaintance Nathan who was a friend of Tyler's wants to help her learn more about Tyler but he is only handing out what he knows in bits and pieces. Her friend Eric is convinced that she has developed a superpower. She can't believe that she is seeing the past when she touches things. She feels pain and sees things when she touches some of Tyler's things but first puts it off to grief or medication or maybe a brain tumor. So she goes looking for some of Tyler's objects to try to understand what happened. Megan is an artist whose medium is collage. The police know that he died of a heroin overdose but Megan can't believe it. He was found in an abandoned building far from home. Megan Brown's beloved older brother Tyler is dead. Along with a trusted classmate and her brother's charming friend, she chases down the troubling truth about Tyler across Washington, DC, while reclaiming her own stifled identity with a vengeance. However, Megan now realizes that her artistic talent has developed into something more: she can see memories attached to some of Tyler’s belongings-and those memories reveal a brother she never knew.Įnlisting the help of an artifact detective who shares her ability and specializes in murderabilia-objects tainted by violence or the deaths of their owners-Megan finds herself drawn into a world of painful personal and national memories. After all, she understands the stories objects can tell-at fifteen, she is a gifted collage artist with a flair for creating found-object pieces.
Determined to figure out what happened in the months before Tyler’s death, Megan turns to the things he left behind. They say he died of a drug overdose, potentially suicide-something Megan cannot accept.
