Description
From the acclaimed author of The Clinic and the November 2025 Indie Next/Library Reads pick The Bridesmaid, comes a frantic thriller of a criminologist who wakes in a remote motel with a new identity and sketchy memories, surrounded by people she doesn't know with dubious intentions.
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?
