Description
Coming out of a coma, Matthias Callaghan finds himself tied to a hospital bed, wrapped in bandages and suffering from amnesia. As he gradually recovers his memory, Callaghan discovers that he – in a case of greed and mistaken identity – has been mutilated and subject to a full face transplant while comatose.
After being released from the hospital, Callaghan spends months in solitary depression using his intelligence to plot revenge on those who have caused him the loss of his identity and former privileged life.
He eventually learns that a full revenge must include the Russian Mafia, a treacherous lawyer named Rathbone, his former business partner Allan, his estranged father and the wife he has recently divorced.
"Ekemar plays the plot beautifully. Through an intricate weaving of character, circumstance, mistaken identity and coincidence, he constructs an engaging, original storyline. A unique, multilayered tale with some fresh twists." – Kirkus Reviews
“A London businessman, brutally tortured by the Russian mafia when he is mistaken for his father, seeks revenge and personal renewal in Kim Ekemar’s intricately plotted, character-rich, intercontinental thriller. The writing is intelligent and sophisticated. This is a well-conceived tale for those who enjoy smart, complex, global intrigue.” – Foreword Clarion Reviews
“Part mystery and part revenge story, there's a lot that happens in barely over 200 pages, and it's all woven together with interesting characters and a fantastic amount of creativity. it takes a lot of skill to bring so many interesting characters together, explore their histories, build a great main character, plot out some wild revenge plots and watch what happens, all while making some fascinating points about the follies of greed and pride. This one genuinely feels not only like a book that folks should read, but one that could easily be discussed.” – Onlinebookclub Reviews
