Written by Jeffrey A. Schechter, Stitchers follows a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be “stitched” into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave.

Smallwood is smart and good at his job, but he’s no match for Kirsten, who can out-hack him and out-think him.
