THE DEVIL’S BARGAIN

Victor Hawk has spent twenty-three years as one of America's most successful novelists — and twenty-three years waking at exactly 3:32 a.m. from the same nightmare: rain, a crash, and a voice calling him by a name he's never owned.

When his agent hands him a story too strange to refuse — John Kane, pulled from a 1999 wreck with no memory, no history, and no trace of a life before the crash — Victor can't say no. But the deeper he digs, the more the case stops feeling like research and starts feeling like memory.

Some debts don't disappear. They wait.
