Publisher's summary

Hunting one killer, he finds another—in the mirror.

In the aftermath of his wife's apparent suicide, Jackson Robert Hunter wakes up outside a bar with a badly battered head and no memory. Revelations convince Jackson that his wife's death wasn't a suicide, but a murder, and he sets out to find the killer.

While hunting the villain and struggling with his amnesia, Jackson discovers that his own backstory is a dark one, littered with broken hearts and dead bodies: a wife he betrayed, a lover he abandoned, a squad of crooked cops he double-crossed, and a city that lives in fear of his name.

Jackson's odyssey takes him from a small town in Kansas to Philadelphia, then back cross-country to Las Vegas. Along the way, he encounters a sister he didn't know he had, a niece he failed to save, and a mentor ready to lead Jackson down the darkest of paths.

Finally, at the end of his journey, Jackson discovers that it's not another man he's been running to—or from—but his own damning deeds and the paradoxical redemption they might bring.

A unique blend, perfect for fans of The Bourne Identity as well as fans of Gone Girl.

Prepare To Run

"Backstory" allows the reader to follow a man with a thirst for vengeance and an impairment that leaves the reader guessing at every turn. Myres' use of figurative language and other literary devices creates a unique sense of urgency in the pages. While the story goes 100 mph throughout, the ending hits a brick wall with unanswered questions spewing out of a faucet.
