There are more twists and turns than a maze, more plot and sub-plots in this mind challenging  “who dun it” guaranteed to keep the crime aficionado on the edge of their seat right to the last page.

When David Hayes was involved in an accident at fourteen years of age, he ended up with amnesia. The only link to his past is a photograph. Now as an older man he decides to unravel the mystery of his past, who he is and where did he come from, unknowingly setting into action a train of events which will take him far from his home into more danger than ever imagined. No cheating now to find out who really did do it!

In a race against time David starts to follow a trail which will lead him across Europe to the Van der Waal Clinic, were he starts to get the idea that things at the Clinic are not all they appear. Eva, Head of Security seems to be so much more than the Head of Security and why is she so interested in him. All questions with no apparent answers.

Sarah comes into his life as she is on a similar mission, to try and trace her family roots. They team up in the hope that together they will be able to not only help each other but, as they both seem to be attracting some serious unwanted attention, there should be safety in numbers.

The mystery of who the pair really are only gets thicker as they progress in their search, one small piece of information to another , eventually plunging them into a deadly nightmare closely resembling a James Bond thriller.

The plot is fast and furious. It will keep you reading long after the lights should be out and as all good thrillers should have, with an ending that of course, ties all the loose ends up but is completely unexpected.
