THE CRIME WAS OVER IN A MINUTE -
THE CONSQUENCES LASTED A LIFETIME

Hospitalised after a liaison with another man's wife ends in violence, Paul Cole has just one goal: to rebuild his shattered life. But with his memory damaged, the police hounding him, and no way even to get home, Paul's facing steep odds--and a bleak fate if he fails...
