If you haven't yet met Raker, you're in for a treat' MICK HERRON'The master of clever, unpredictable plots' CLAIRE DOUGLASMy name is Jessica.   On the day I nearly die, I spend the morning with my husband, Michael, and my three-year-old son, Rory. They wave me off to work and I tell them that I love them.   Then a van comes out of nowhere and smashes into my car.   I’m in a coma for four weeks.   When I wake up and ask where Michael and Rory are, my entire life shatters.   Everyone tells me I’m not a mother and never have been.   They tell me I’ve never been married, that the house I shared with Michael and Rory is occupied by someone else, and that the life I lived isn’t mine but an episode triggered by the accident.   I tell them it can’t be true, it isn’t true, but all the evidence is against me.   That’s when I call missing persons investigator, David Raker. He tells me he will find the truth.   But he never turns up to our meeting.   Because now David Raker has gone missing, too.
