READER REVIEWS
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Brilliant! I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t put it down.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This is an amazing read, from the very beginning it is intriguing and compulsive.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'What a clever story! Couldn't put the book down.'
Young doctor Edie Carter is bright, talented and ambitious. She is embarking on her dream career in anaesthetics and is engaged to a man who adores her. The one thing she doesn’t have is a childhood. Suffering from traumatic repression, large parts of her past are blank spaces.
When an unidentified patient arrives in her intensive care unit with her name carved on his body, she realises that memories can refuse to stay buried. The man is unknown to Edie, but digging deeper, she discovers that the patient is Samuel Cox, a man imprisoned and brutalised over the last two decades for horrifying crimes he had committed.
As she investigates further, and begins to reveal Cox’s motives, Edie realises that even those she trusts have been complicit in deceiving her.
With the lives of those closest to her at risk, is Edie ready for the truth of what happened all those years ago?
And will she do whatever it takes to keep it hidden?
