A young woman is carjacked in a downtown Portland parking lot. The thief bashes her on the head, hard enough to put her in a coma for a month. And hard enough to disconnect most of her memories, leaving only vague impressions. The doctors say her memory loss is probably temporary. In which case, she has nothing to worry about.

Nothing, that is, except a serial killer, a religious fanatic who mutilates his victims. When she learns why he’s hunting her, it leads to a startling revelation: The amnesia is a blessing rather than a curse.

A fast-paced thriller that will challenge preconceptions.
