Splinter

Splinter by Sebastian Fitzek. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781848876965.

An insanely fast-paced, utterly unputdownable psychological thriller: what if we could permanently erase our most terrifying experiences from memory? And what could go wrong? Have you ever done something you wish you could forget? Wracked with grief after an accident killed his wife and unborn child, all Marc Lucas wants is to wipe his memory. Until he returns home one night to find that his key doesnt fit in the lock and his wife is alive, well and pregnant - but claims not to recognise him. Marc is drawn into a nightmare world, one where its impossible to separate reality from fiction. Is he going mad? Or is there a conspiracy at work - one that could cost him his memory, his sanity...even his life. In the vein of Total Recall or Memento, Splinter is a break neck ride through a collapsing world where the characters and the reader lose contact with whats real. Clear, fast and full of great ideas. - Big Issue
