Publisher's Summary

A rainy night. An empty highway. And no memory. From award-winning author Tim Wynne-Jones comes a riveting murder mystery that will keep listeners enthralled until the last moment.

On the night Donovan Turner is thrown out of a car on a highway in the middle of nowhere, he can barely remember his own name, let alone the past 24 hours. Where is he? Where is his girlfriend, Bee? In an attempt to flag down the next passing car, he startles the driver, causing a fatal accident. With sirens in the distance and the lingering feeling that he's running from something - or someone - Donovan grabs the dead driver's briefcase and flees. Meanwhile, Bee is fighting for Dono's life every bit as much as he is. But when the police show up and hint that he is the prime suspect in a murder, Bee is determined to put together the pieces of what happened and clear his name. With echoes of Dante's Divine Comedy, this harrowing journey through hell and back is a page-turning tale of guilt, retribution, love, and redemption.

The Maestro

Tim Wynne Jones's mastery of prose takes my breath away--and in this work he is the voice actor as well! Such a treat--he does a beautiful job. As a writer, he has all the words and knows how to use them--for good, unlike one of his characters in this novel. Compelling from the very start, this is a novel you won't want to press pause on. #Audible1
