"Fans of authors such as Alex Michaelides or Paula Hawkins will enjoy this amnesia thriller." -Library Journal
Haunted by a forgotten past. Hunted by a ruthless killer. No one to save her but herself.
After surviving a car crash, Kay Smith wakes from a coma with amnesia, a battered face, and no one to vouch for her identity. Her psychiatrist is convinced that her memory loss is connected to the horrific flashbacks and nightmares haunting her. As she digs for clues to her past, Kay uncovers a shady character following her every inquiry. Who is he? And what does he want from her?
As Kay's probes deepen, she realizes that everyone around her has deadly secrets to hide-even her. Emerging memories, guilty suspicions, and headline-screaming murders push Kay to come out of the shadows and choose: will she perpetuate a horrendous lie or risk her life to uncover the truth?
For readers who enjoy thrillers by Mary Kubica, Paula Hawkins, Clare Mackintosh, and Alex Michaelides.
