He lost twenty-five years of memories. What if forgetting was the only thing keeping him alive?
Dr. Liam Jonathan Knox is one of Las Vegas's most respected psychiatrists-a former FBI profiler, expert witness, and bestselling author. A man who built an extraordinary life after escaping the fundamentalist Mormon cult into which he was born.
Then a devastating car accident changes everything.
When Liam awakens from a coma, the last twenty-five years of his life are gone.
The world he once knew has vanished, replaced by fragments of a past he can no longer recognize: Abigail, a beautiful and enigmatic stepsister; a wife who disappeared years ago; a teenage daughter who feels like a stranger; and a void where an entire lifetime should be.
After leaving the hospital, Braxton-his brother-in-law, closest friend, and captain in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department-hands him the personal items recovered from the wreckage. Among them are two seemingly insignificant objects: a yellowed sheet of paper covered in mysterious numbers and an old rusted key.
Both point toward the Nevada desert.
Both lead to secrets that were meant to stay buried.
As Liam struggles to reclaim his memories, he finds himself haunted by a terrifying question:
Who was he before the accident?
A man devoted to helping others understand themselves...
Or the monster everyone is hunting?
Dark, unsettling, and impossible to put down, this gripping psychological thriller plunges readers into the darkest corners of the human mind, where trauma, guilt, obsession, and buried truths collide.
Because guilt never forgets.
And when it finally returns, there is nowhere left to hide.
