Book description
A lost child. A shattered past. A life going under . . . Vincent Ruiz
is lucky to be alive. A bullet in the leg, another through the hand, he
is discovered clinging to a buoy in the River Thames, losing blood and
consciousness fast. It takes six days for him to come out of his coma,
and when he does, his nightmare is only just beginning. Because Vincent
has no recollection of what happened, and nobody believes him. A mile
away from his body, a boat was found covered in blood -- Vincent's and
that of three others. Forensics say at least one of them must be dead.
Vincent, a police detective, had signed his service pistol out of the
station armoury, despite being on leave. Many murder suspects fake
amnesia, and the investigating team are not sure this case is any
different . . . The only clue is a picture in his pocket, a photograph
of a young girl, Mickey Carlyle, who disappeared three years ago. And
though Mickey is presumed dead, Vincent has the nagging doubt that she
is alive and in terrible danger . . . Before writing full-time,
Michael Robotham was an investigative journalist in Britain, Australia
and the US. He is the pseudonymous author of 10 best-selling non-fiction
titles, involving prominent figures in the military, the arts, sport and
science.
