What would you do if you couldn't remember who you were, where you lived or what you might have done? Rush hour, Grand Central Station. Aaron Clifford stops dead in his tracks - but he doesn't know he's Aaron Clifford. He doesn't know who he is at all. No matter how hard he tries, he has no memory of why he's there, where he came from, or where he's going.

With that relief will come cold-blooded fear - as he learns more than he ever knew before. Things he shouldn't know. Things he doesn't want to know. Things that could get him killed . . .

Then two more woodsmen are found murdered in the same coldblooded way - naked prey staked out by a merciless executioner.
