fullDescription

From "one of the best thriller writers in the business" (Associated Press) comes a novel praised by Harlan Coben as "mesmerizing, gripping...the perfect blend of complex characters, plot twists galore, and great psychological suspense."
Sometimes the person you thought you knew best...
Turns out to be someone you never really knew at all.
The crash that killed him
Two years ago, Jane Norton crashed her car on a lonely road, killing her friend David and leaving her with amnesia. At first, everyone was sympathetic. Then they found Jane's note: I wish we were dead together.
A girl to blame
From that day the town turned against her. But even now Jane is filled with questions: Why were they on that road? Why was she with David? Did she really want to die?
The secrets she should forget
Most of all, she must find out who has just written her an anonymous message: I know what really happened. I know what you don't remember...
Don't miss Jeff Abbott's most chilling thriller to date—perfect for readers of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, or The Woman in Cabin 10.
"One of my favorite writers." — Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author
"If you like Harlan Coben, read this book. Taut, twisty, and elegantly-written, with an ending you won't see coming." — Sarah Pekkanen, bestselling author of The Perfect Neighbors
"Jeff Abbott is a master...I am, and always have been, a devoted fan."-Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author

     May 1, 2017
     In this engrossing standalone from Thriller Award–winner Abbott (The First Order), a car crash in Austin, Tex., steals 17-year-old Jane Norton’s memory and kills her best friend’s boyfriend, David Hall. Investigators find Jane’s suicide note at the scene, turning sympathy for the survivor into blame. Jane can’t imagine intentionally wrecking her vehicle, let alone doing so with David as a passenger, but since she can’t remember the last three years, she’s unable to offer an alternative explanation. Two years later, when “Liv Danger” posts a message online claiming to know what really happened that night and pledging vengeance, the guilt-ridden Jane assumes it’s a cruel joke—until someone starts targeting those connected with the crash. The closer Jane comes to unlocking her memories and unmasking Liv Danger, the more certain she becomes that everyone in her life is conspiring to rewrite history and hide the truth. One soapy and superfluous subplot aside, this is an emotionally complex tale replete with finely drawn characters, shocking twists, and convincing red herrings. Agent: Peter Ginsberg, Curtis Brown.

   • content: This unconventional thriller features four different characters who are portrayed by Bailey Carr, Lauren Fortgang, Vanessa Johansson, and Greg Tremblay. Teenager Jane Norton is still suffering from amnesia from a car accident two years ago. Faced with questions about what happened and the mystery of an anonymous note from someone who appears to hold the answers, she strives to discover the truth as the story delves into the importance of memory. The theme of the mystery doesn't disrupt the flow of the story but doesn't contribute to it greatly either. In addition, the voices of the female narrators are so similar that it's not immediately apparent that different narrators are being used. Regardless, this is an intriguing listen.

     Two years ago, teenager Jane Norton caused a car accident that killed her passenger, David Hall. At least that's what she's been told: she woke up after the accident with amnesia and is still discovering new memories, but she continues to remember nothing of the accident. She knows that David's mother despises her, and that her former best friend, Kamala (David's girlfriend), seems determined to ruin her life. But is she determined enough to be the person who, posing as the fictitious Liv Danger, has posted a message on Jane's social-media page claiming to know what really happened that night two years ago? As Jane desperately tries to find out who Liv is and what led up to the accident, the questions keep stacking up, each one adding a layer of mystery to Jane's life. A solid stand-alone from the author of the Sam Capra series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)

     Another Sam Capra thriller from this three-time Edgar nominee? Actually not. Abbott has decided to write a stand-alone psychological suspense novel, for which there are no plot details but at least a setting: Austin, TX. With a 25,000-copy first printing and a five-city tour.
