A murder she doesn't remember committing. Or a killer she doesn't
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. That's 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, she's lost and disoriented in the
city. She is horrified to see news reports of a crime scene where
the victim's blood has been used to scrawl a message: the same
message that's 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 doesn't remember committing and trying to piece together
the fragments of her life. But there's someone who knows exactly
what she did, and they'll 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 'Misdirection has always been a key tool in her toolbox, and
she uses it to perfection in this beautifully conceived and
executed thriller.' Booklist 'Goldin skillfully interweaves Liv's
tense, propulsive present-day narration... Shocking twists and
resourceful, well-drawn female characters keep the pages turning as
the clever mystery unfolds. Goldin reliably entertains.'
