From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a biting thriller about a doctor left with a brain injury after an attempted murder. How can you survive the next attack when you can't remember who wants you dead?

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Intruder!

How can you survive when you can't remember who wants you dead?

Dr. Charly McKenna had the perfect lifeβ€”a thriving dermatology practice, a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park, and a handsome husband who adored her.

Until the night a bullet tore through her skull... and stole everything.

Now Charly wakes in a rehabilitation hospital unable to walk, speak, or remember her own name. All she knows is that someone tried to kill herβ€”and they may still be out there. As fragments of memory surface, so do unsettling questions about the people around her, including the attentive man who keeps appearing at her bedside.

The truth of what happened that night lives somewhere inside her brain. And as Charly pieces together the jagged edges of her past, she begins to realize the most terrifying possibilityβ€”the person who wants her dead might be the one she once trusted most.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a scalpel-sharp psychological thriller about fractured memory, buried secrets, and how far the mind will go to protect you from the truth.
