Publisher Description
From the acclaimed author of The Clinic and The Bridesmaid comes a pulse pounding thriller following a criminologist who wakes in a remote motel with no memory of how she got there, or the people who claim they will protect her.
Criminologist April Anderson wakes up in a remote motel with a new name, a new identity, and absolutely no memory of how she got there. Told she’s under police protection as the victim of a disturbing crime, she'll have to stand as a witness on a major trial that she knows nothing about. April isn’t sure who to trust — the cop guarding her from an unknown threat, or the fiancé secretly tracking her.
As April's memories start coming back in waves, she discovers a side to herself she didn’t know existed. A side she'd rather stay hidden.
With the trial drawing closer, the need for her to remember everything that happened to her the night of the crime becomes vital to her survival. But someone wants her silent, and her missing memories may be the only thing keeping her alive. Will she remember the truth… or disappear forever?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A brilliantly confounding premise leaves the woman at the center of this psychological thriller with no one to trust—not even herself. April doesn’t remember how she got to the remote motel she finds herself in; she hardly remembers anything. Sam, the cop assigned to protect her, informs her that she’s under witness protection. But how can she testify at a high-stakes trial if she can barely recall her identity? Searching through the evidence she has access to, April slowly puts together the unsettling puzzle of who she is, what happened, and how much danger she’s in. We loved that the heroine of this mystery is a criminologist. Relying on skills and expertise that have become second nature, she sorts through facts and impressions as the mystery unfolds at a thrilling clip. The revelations and twists deal with not only the crime she witnessed but her relationships to everyone involved. This is the kind of read you might end up racing through in a single night.
