What this book is about
Marcus Sakey's psychological thriller follows a man who wakes up on a beach with no identity, no memory, and the slow, terrifying discovery that someone is trying to kill him — for reasons his amnesiac self cannot access. Sakey constructs a race-against-time thriller that is also a meditation on identity and what we owe the people we can no longer remember.
