Flashback

The nuns called her Eve when they found her unconscious in a Burgundy Field. She had no possessions apart from a Tangier/Algeciras ferry ticket - not even her memory, though her accent suggests she is American. Doctors have been unable to dredge anything from her mind to tell her who she is, and their examinations have only been able to inform her of one thing: that she once had a child.

The convent has been her home since then - a simple tranquil life. Then one night, while Eve is away, a dozen camouflaged men make their way through the convent, murdering the sisters in cold blood. Only Sister Heloise escapes. And she tells Eve that the men had been focused on looking for one person, 'the American'.

With no idea why the men wanted to find her so badly, Eve must flee. Her only clue is the ferry ticket. She heads for Tangier on a desperate journey in search of her identity and her history. But the precious knowledge may be more terrible than she can imagine...

"With its exotic locales and with a heroine who resembles an action hero...this high-energy thriller is sure to please fans of the TV series 'Alias.'"

WHAT DOES SHE REMEMBER?
The sisters of an isolated French convent have rescued an American woman suffering from a head wound and no memory of how she got there. Dubbed Eve, the only clues to her identity are a ticket from a Tangier ferry, and proof that that she has had a child. No one has reported her missing. No one has claimed her. But someone is following her...

WHERE CAN SHE RUN?
When the nuns are massacred by intruders, Eve flees for Tangier. Plagued by fear, Eve follows the tracks of a stranger waiting in the shadows of Marrakech. He's a link to her family, to a lover, and to a past far more dangerous than Eve imagines.

WHOM CAN SHE TRUST?
But unraveling the secrets of her past is only the beginning of a nightmare. The more Eve discovers, the more she has to fear. For one terrifying piece of the puzzle remains, locked in the darkness of her mind-and what Eve knows could be the death of her.

"Moving and satisfying...Siler's hard and spare prose shines like highly polished pebbles."
--Chicago Tribune

"Siler darkens the lost-identity theme and transfers the action to exotic locations in Morocco, lending a Hitchcock-like sense of disorientation...that is thick with atmosphere."
--New York Times Book Review
