Ivy is on the run. Why or from whom, she can’t remember. She only knows her first name. Hungry and with a stranger’s blood on her clothes, she takes refuge in a small town hotel – without money, a cellphone or
documents.
As she slowly begins to regain her memories, she realizes that this place is not safe either. She hides in a seaside resort, working at a beach hotel’s restaurant. But at night, she is haunted by nightmares – again and again. What did she witness? And why won’t she, under any circumstances, go and talk to the
police? A spine-tingling thriller with a strong heroine.
