I may not remember everything, but I know he won’t hurt anyone else.
I won’t let him.
It’s been two months since a serial killer brutally attacked police detective Alisha Green and left her for dead. Two months since she could effortlessly recall simple things, since her mind felt remotely sound. The nameless killer thinks he knows her, thinks she’s just another dead girl among many. Ali Green plans to show him he’s dead wrong about that.
Ali has two enemies now: the dangerous man she’s hunting and her own failing memory. As explosive new evidence comes to light and conflicting accounts from a witness and a surviving victim threaten both her investigation and her credibility, she begins to question what is and isn’t real. And now Ali has no choice but to remember the past…before it buries her.
A hypnotically gripping thriller that proves international bestselling author Graeme Cameron is one of the most unique voices in contemporary fiction today.
“Chilling [and] blackly humorous…Normal marks Cameron out as one to watch.” —Daily Express, 4 stars
“Original and gripping.” —Clare Mackintosh, New York Times bestselling author, on Normal
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this tense crime novel from British author Cameron (Normal), Sgt. Ali Green of Norwich CID, seconded to the Major Investigation Team, goes on emergency leave after she's brutally beaten by an unknown assailant she suspects is the serial killer she's pursuing, Thomas Reed. Two months after the attack, Ali suffers bouts of memory loss and lack of mobility. When the car of one of two other detectives working the case, which has been missing since the incident, is found burnt out with at least one corpse inside, Ali returns to work. With this new evidence, the police resume their search for Thomas, who may be responsible for the disappearance of four girls in addition to the two detectives, now presumed dead. Meanwhile, Ali clashes with Kevin McManus, a colleague who was wounded during the same attack and realizes that Ali is trying to conceal her mental and physical limitations. The characters' psychological motivations ring true, and the action builds to a spine-tingling resolution. Readers will hope to see more of feisty, appealing Ali.
