First published 1991
Dan Marriott wakes up to a world he cannot remember. Eight months have passed since the car accident that destroyed his face and shattered his mind. The plastic surgeons have given him new features, but they cannot restore what the trauma took away. His reflection shows a stranger. His memories remain locked behind walls of amnesia. Someone wants Dan dead. The killer moves through shadows, patient and deliberate. Dan catches glimpses of danger but cannot piece together why he has become a target. His forgotten past holds the key to his survival, but every attempt to remember brings only fragments. The faces around him could belong to friends or enemies. Dan must navigate a maze of lost time while death circles closer. His reconstructed face may have saved his appearance, but his fractured memory could cost him his life.
