2000s: A policewoman suffering amnesia must find the truth about her own violent kidnapping
Past Life
What you need to know before your trail
Waking up beside the dead girl, she couldn’t remember anything.
Who she was. Who had taken her. How to escape.
Detective Abigail Boone has been missing for four days when she is finally found, confused and broken. Suffering retrograde amnesia, she is a stranger to her despairing husband and bewildered son.
Hopelessly lost in her own life, with no leads on her abduction, Boone’s only instinct is to revisit the case she was investigating when she vanished: the baffling disappearance of a young woman, Sarah Still.
Defying her family and the police, Boone obsessively follows a deadly trail to the darkest edges of human cruelty. But even if she finds Sarah, will Boone ever be the same again?
Travel Guide
Travel to Boone’s London and fictional “Lark’ in Kent
Lark
“They were on the outskirts of Lark, a medieval port and Victorian tourist resort now surviving off the dregs of both industries, and the shore there was usually deserted save fro the old jogger or dog-walker. There was a bench, which Boone considered her bench, and she sat there in the stiff breeze communing with the Channel, studying its grey ondulations, France a dark finger on the horizon.”
“A down-on-its-uppers Seaside town, Lark was rebranding itself as an alternative for those who didn’t have a spare half-million for a three bed in almost London The shops and hotels of the sea from promenade had been freshly painted in pastel tones, the town’s chin wiped clean for visitors. The kind of place that people not from there called charming.”
