The first book in the Callaghan Tetralogy series:
Coming out of a coma, Matthias Callaghan finds himself tied to a hospital bed, wrapped in bandages and suffering from amnesia. As he gradually recovers his memories, Callaghan discovers that he – in a case of mistaken identity – has been mutilated and subject to a full face transplant while being comatose.
After being released from the hospital Callaghan spends months in solitary depression using his intelligence to plot his revenge on the five people who have caused him the loss of his identity and former privileged life.
What he learns the hard way is his revenge must encompass the Russian Mafia, a treacherous lawyer, his former business partner, the wife he recently has divorced and his estranged father.
“This is a very captivating novel with a very good plot. The beginning immediately draws the reader into the complex web of mystery that surrounds the situation that Matthias is in. The author has done a lot of careful preparation and planning by researching many technical aspects of the plot and by cross-checking the logistics of Matthias’s different identities and his interrelationships with other characters.” Amazon Editorial Review
"Ekemar plays the plot beautifully, contrasting past and present chapters in well-thought-out juxtaposition … Through an intricate weaving of character, circumstance, mistaken identity and coincidence, he constructs an engaging, original storyline … A unique, multilayered tale with some fresh twists." – Kirkus Reviews
