Synopsis

Peter Abrahams is a national best-selling author Stephen King calls his "favorite American suspense novelist." Oblivion is the deftly plotted tale of a man thrust into a desperate situation while beset with memory loss. Private investigator Nick Petrov achieved celebrity status after apprehending serial killer Gerald Reasoner. When a woman retains his services to track down her missing daughter, Nick senses all is not as it seems. But then he suffers a head trauma, and large gaps appear in his memory. Bizarre clues lead him to believe that he must revisit the Reasoner case to solve the mystery he has been plunged into-even as a mounting sense of dread indicates that he might not make it through this investigation in one piece. Abrahams orchestrates a deftly plotted tale that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats from start to finish. "Abrahams creates palpable empathy for the bruised Nick and his pitch-perfect prose is a joy."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review

A few eye roll moments when he just had to explain every thought over and over again or he did something that was not i......more
