"From the author of Runner, Sam Dryden comes under attack from unknown forces as an unremembered episode from his past threatens more than just his life. On an otherwise normal morning, former Special Forces operative Sam Dryden is the target of an unsuccessful attempted abduction. Using his attacker's cellphone, he learns that another person, a woman named Danica Ellis, is also being targeted. Dryden arrives just in time to save Danica from the assault team sent after her. But neither of them recognize the other, or have any idea why they are being targeted. The only clue is a heavily redacted, official-looking document given to Danica by her stepfather before he was killed. Dryden immediately recognizes it as a "scrub file." A scrub file is a record of what a subject knew before their memories were chemically destroyed. The redacted document refers to witnesses to a secret military site in Ashland, Iowa in 1989. Both Dryden and Danica Ellis lived in Ashland in 1989, when they were both twelve years old, though neither of them has any memory of the other. Switching back and forth between the present day, when Dryden and Danica try to elude the forces that are after them, and the past in Ashland, Iowa, when both were twelve, making a discovery that forever changed their lives, this latest Sam Dryden novel proves yet again that Patrick Lee is one of the most original, compelling thriller writers today"--… (plus d'informations)

A team is dispatched to kill Sam Dryden and another to kill Danica Ellis, two total strangers. Both miss, but Sam heads off to try to save her when he learns of the plot. Slowly, the two realize that they share a similar gap in their memories -- from 1989 when both were in car accidents, with head trauma. The book in told in the present, where Sam and Danica are trying to figure out who is trying to kill them and why, and in early summer 1989 when they become neighbors and friends in an obscure town in Iowa (somewhat reminiscent of The Pines by Blake Crouch), where they witness something that needs to be erased. Lots of suspense as to who are the good guys and the bad guys, even at the end, which I thought was pretty unbelievable. I felt the magic between the two was not properly developed and was disappointed with the Lauren Coleman storyline. ( )

Take a day off, find a comfortable spot where you won't be disturbed, open this book, begin reading, and don't expect to blink until you've finished.

Yes, this book is that good! Patrick Lee gives us two main characters who are each fascinating on their own, and who then come together for an explosive story.

The pace is quick and steady, building tension and pulling us along into the chaos.

The writing is crisp and engaging. The detail is just enough to spark all the senses. I felt like I was living this story alongside the characters.

I haven't read the first two books in this series. What? I know! I can't believe it myself. This one reads perfectly as a stand-alone. But I should've read the first two, and I need to read the first two, because, really, Patrick Lee is a kickass writer!
