Before I Disappear

From the acclaimed author of The Clinic and the November 2025 Indie Next/Library Reads pick The Bridesmaid, a frantic thriller of a criminolgist who wakes in a remote motel with a new identity and sketchy memories, surrounded by people she doesn't know with dubious intentions.

Criminologist April Anderson wakes in a remote motel with a new name, a fake ID — and no memory of why she fled her comfortable life in New York. Told she’s under witness protection, April isn’t sure who to trust — the cop guarding her, or the fiance secretly tracking her. As April unpicks memories, she discovers a side to herself she’d rather stay hidden.

But someone else wants her silent, and as the trial date closes in, her missing memories may be the only thing keeping her alive. Will she remember the truth… or disappear forever?
