FLASHBACK by JENNY SILER
|
SummaryDesperately searching for a way to recover her memory, a
young American woman on the run must unlock a terrible
secret from her past Discovered in a ditch by the side of a country road in
France, Eve has only good American dentistry and a ferry
ticket scribbled with Arabic letters to suggest her
identity. That, and a bullet wound in her brain that she
miraculously survives, even as it destroys her memory. Only
a few scattered violent images remain—or are they dreams?—
along with one undeniable physical fact: she has had a
child. When the nuns who have sheltered her for a year are
brutally massacred, Eve realizes that whoever she was in
her past life, she had powerful enemies. Just half a step
ahead of her pursuers, she lights out for Morocco in an
attempt to retrace her steps and discover her past. Away
from the convent, she begins to discover things that
startle her—among them, her capacity for violence and her
facility with guns. Was she a spy? Who is the dying man in
her nightmares? As she searches through spice-scented souks
and glamorous nightclubs for clues to her past, she has to
figure out who is after her, and why—before it's too late. Within scenes of heart-stopping terror, Jenny Siler's
lyrical writing and memorable images stand out. As Marilyn
Stasio said of Easy Money in The New York Times Book
Review, Siler's is "a voice that gets your attention like a
rifle shot."
