"I enjoy Freida McFadden…The books are engrossing and her sense of humour is sharp and dark. Vengeance comes with a twist and is satisfying" – STEPHEN KING

"McFadden is a writer at the top of her game—and the undisputed mistress of the psychological thriller." – E.L. James

“Take the propulsive darkness of Gone Girl, the prolific output of Colleen Hoover, and the addictive twists of Harlan Coben, and you have something close to Freida McFadden.” – The Independent

“Intimidatingly prolific” – The Sunday Times

From #1 Sunday 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?

***

Dr Charly McKenna had the perfect life: 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 her—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 realise the most terrifying possibility: the person who wants her dead might be the one she once trusted most.

A scalpel-sharp psychological thriller about fractured memory, buried secrets, and how far the mind will go to protect you from the truth.
