When British soldier Alex Fisher returns home from his tour in Bosnia, he's plagued by blackouts, recurring nightmares, and uncontrollable acts of violence. Escaping to Mexico, he sets off on a globetrotting tour in an attempt to finally distance himself from the demons in his head. A chance meeting with a mysterious woman named Angela introduces Fisher to a far more passionate -- and far more dangerous -- life. After a series of life-threatening encounters, Fisher begins to wonder just who Angela really is -- or even if she's real at all. With his grip on reality slipping, Fisher's demons return in full force, awakening a flood of suppressed memories. As he attempts to sort through his complicated and half-remembered past, Fisher discovers that the truth is harder to accept than the lies. The first of four books by a popular Dutch writing duo, this tense, psychologically acute thriller marks their American debut.
