Desperately 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.” Siler's fourth stand-alone thriller features a young woman named Eve who has no memory of her life before she arrived at a French convent. Scars indicate that she was shot in the head and that she once gave birth. American dentistry points to her country of origin. But when the sisters who shelter her are massacred, she must delve aggressively into her past to find out who is after her and why. The trail begins with a ferry ticket from Morocco and extends to a package containing some of Eve's belongings: a gun, lots of money, and numerous passports. These discoveries, combined with Eve's realization that she has a knack for hurting people and escaping from life-or-death situations, lead her to worry about whose side she was on in her former life. With its exotic locales and with a heroine who resembles an action hero--kicking, shooting, punching, and knifing her way past all the bad guys in her path--this high-energy thriller is sure to please fans of the TV series Alias.
