Future Bestsellers (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday)

Susan Cork is lucky to be alive. That's what her doctors tell her when she wakes up in hospital missing three days worth of memories. She was found in the crumpled wreck of her SUV following a freak electrical storm, with injuries that no simple wreck could explain. And then there's the things she does remember.

Dotted in Susan's memory are things that don't make any sense. Addresses she's never been to. Conversations about things that never happened. Weird items and books, seemingly out of nowhere. But strangest of all is the message she feels is for the town's new Sherrif, Lewis "Buck" McGraw.


The gruff Sherrif just stared at her, making her feel a little foolish. She tried to smile, and looked away. "I'm sure it's nothing, just the result of getting knocked in the head. Frankly, I don't know why it was so important-"

McGraw was ignoring her, talking into his two-way radio. "I don't care how nuts it sounds, get on it!" If she had to say, she thought he looked terrified.


Even though there's no way she could know it, Susan has the clue Buck needs to solve his first big case. As she confides more in Buck, her memory starts to open up, showing snatches of the night of her crash, as well as more incongruous visions. Even though Buck is a sensible man, he knows in his gut that something big is happening here, and she's going to need his help.

Now Susan and her reluctant ally must work together to chase down these strange leads and unravel the mystery of what happened to her that fateful night. As more and more unexplained connections are made, Buck must face the fact that his first case is far from closed, and what looked like a simple explanation is just the surface of something far more sinister.
