Nate Driscoll is lost. Awakening from a hiking accident, he has no recollection of his surroundings, his family, or even his self. With the help of his wife and daughter, he slowly settles back into his former life as a high school teacher. But as people disappear and the body count starts to rise in his sleepy Indiana town, Nate's life begins to unravel, and he is forced to question whether his past is actually darker than he's been led to believe. But he is not alone. Tasked with overseeing a classified government project, Matt Jacobson is a hardened agent with a job to do, and he's never failed a mission before. But recently his sleepless nights have been filled with ghosts that won't be denied, and the only way to silence their whispers might lie with the one man he's sworn to deceive. Burton's suspenseful debut examines the limits of modern neuroscience, seamlessly woven with humor and horror at every turn. His thrilling tale will keep you guessing, and might even have you questioning your own unique identity by the final page.
