She lost her memory. Now she might lose her life.
A beautiful woman wakes in a hospital bed, shackled and confused. She's been in a coma for weeks. And can only remember her first name—Blue.
Blue learns she fell from a window on the fourth floor of a hotel. Did she jump? Or was she pushed? To discover the truth, Blue must figure out who she is and what she was doing in that hotel.
And she needs to do it fast. Because someone is out there, hunting Blue down, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Not knowing where to turn or who to trust, Blue must rely on her instincts to survive. Gradually, her memories begin to return, and they're darker than she could ever have imagined.
Will she put the pieces of her life back together before she's silenced forever?
Can she trust the one person who might save her life?
