He wakes in a cheap lodge in Kerala with no phone, no wallet, and no memory of how he got there.
The last thing Trivedi Chatterjee remembers is walking through a New York parking garage with his laptop bag over his shoulder. He had a defense presentation that morning. Two years of work. A life he understood.
Now the desk clerk is calling him Mr. Joseph.
The ID in his hand shows another man's face. The family waiting for him believes he has finally returned. And when Trivedi calls home, desperate to warn his boss that his classified work has been stolen, he learns something impossible.
Trivedi Chatterjee already gave the presentation.
Then he calls Michele, the woman he loves.
She laughs at first. Then she tells him Trivedi is right there beside her.
Someone has taken his name, his work, his apartment, and his life. Someone has left him trapped in another man's body in a country where no one believes him. As the police close in and the trail leads to a hidden research program built on stolen identities, Trivedi must uncover what was done to him before the impostor finishes what he started.
The Man Who Woke Up as Someone Else is a psychological identity thriller about a man erased from his own life-and the terrifying question of what remains when even your face is no longer yours.
