A Lost child. A Shattered past. A Life goingunder...Vincent Ruiz is lucky to be alive. A bullet in the leg, anotherthrough the hand, he is discovered clinging to a buoy in the RiverThames, losing blood and consciousness fast. It takes six days for himto come out of his coma, and when he does, his nightmare is only justbeginning. Because Vincent has no recollection of what happened, andnobody believes him.A mile away from his body, a boat was found covered in blood --Vincent's and that of three others. Forensics say at least one of themmust be dead. Vincent, a police detective, had signed his servicepistol out of the station armoury, despite being on leave. Many murdersuspects fake amnesia, and the investigating team are not sure thiscase is any different . . . The only clue is a picture in his pocket,a photograph of a young girl, Mickey Carlyle, who disappeared threeyears ago. And though Mickey is presumed dead, Vincent has the naggingdoubt that she is alive and in terrible danger . . .
