Naked and fighting for his life at the edge of a freezing
ocean is only the start of a tortuous search for why
Daniel's in this desolate place -- and who he is. With no
memory of his name, or where he is, or how he ended up
here, he's relieved to find an empty BMW nearby containing
clothes and shoes that fit, a decent amount of cash and
registration papers for a Daniel Hayes of Malibu,
California. Is that really his name, and why doesn't he
remember?
Checking into a rundown motel to rest and try to sort
things out, he becomes entranced with a TV program and one
of the women in the show. For some reason, Daniel feels he
must find this woman. When a local cop spots his fancy car
and tries to question him at gunpoint, he flees. If he is
Daniel Hayes, the answers he seeks must be in California,
but what will he find once he reaches his destination?
Looking for the woman he thinks is the center of his world
and holds the key to his past, Daniel uncovers a hotbed of
lies and deceit -- and encounters one very evil man who
won't give up until he owns Daniel, as well as the woman
Daniel loves.
Marcus Sakey returns with another exhilarating crime
thriller filled with exciting characters and intricate plot
devices guaranteed to captivate readers first page to last --
and the ending provides a superb twist. Another first-rate
story from this talented author!
A man wakes up naked and cold, half-drowned on an abandoned
beach. The only sign of life for miles is an empty BMW.
Inside the expensive car he finds clothes that fit
perfectly, shoes for his tattered feet, a Rolex, and a bank
envelope stuffed with cash and an auto registration in the
name of Daniel Hayes, resident of Malibu, California.
None of it is familiar.
What is he doing here? How did he get into the ocean? Is he
Daniel Hayes,
and if so, why doesn’t he remember? While he searches for
answers, the world
searches for him—beginning with the police that kick in the
door of his dingy
motel, with guns drawn. Lost, alone, and on the run, the man
who might be
Daniel Hayes flees into the night.
All he remembers is a woman’s face, so he sets off for the
only place he might
find her. The fantasy of her becomes his home, his world,
his hope. And maybe,
just maybe, the way back to himself.
But that raises the most chilling question of all: What will
he find when he gets
there?
I always am drawn to a book or movie about someone who has lost their memory. One never knows if they have been set up or have true amnesia. This novel sounds like one I would really love to read. Thank you for the really intriguing review. Connie Fischer [email protected] (Connie Fischer 2:35pm August 24, 2011)
