Description du livre
A murder she doesnt remember committing. Or a killer she doesnt remember meeting?
Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. She is dropped off at her apartment, but is confronted by a stranger who claims to live there. Confused, she reaches for her phone to call for help only to find that in its place is a bloodstained knife. Thats when she sees that her hands are covered in scribbles repeating the same two words: STAY AWAKE.
Last she recalls, Liv was a successful writer for a New York magazine. Now, shes lost and disoriented in the city. She is horrified to see news reports of a crime scene where the victims blood has been used to scrawl a message: the same message thats inked on her hands. What did she do last night before waking in a moving car?
Liv finds herself on the run for a crime she doesnt remember committing and trying to piece together the fragments of her life. But theres someone who knows exactly what she did, and theyll do anything to make her forget permanently.
An electrifying thriller that unfolds at a breakneck speed, Stay Awake is guaranteed to keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of S J Watson, Lisa Unger and Riley Sager. Praise for Stay Awake
