reviewed on + 335 more book reviews


Found in an alleyway, completely dazed, with no memory of who she is, or how she's gotten there, an obviously well-to-do young woman is taken to a nearby shelter run by a nun. There she meets former cop Michael Coffey, who often stops in to visit Sister Mary Agnes. When it becomes obvious that she is suffering from sudden, agonizing, recurring headaches, Coffey volunteers to take her to the nearest ER. But, haunted by an elusive memory she has of a motel, she insists that he drive her to the location first. There they discover a brutally murdered man in the room, and blood-splattered clothing that would certainly fit the young woman.

Is the a cold-blooded killer, or has someone set her up?
