BOOK OVERVIEW:
In New York Times bestselling author Nevada Barr's gripping
standalone, a grandmother in her sixties emerges from a mental fog to
find she's trapped in her worst nightmare.
Rose Dennis
wakes up in a hospital gown, her brain in a fog, only to discover that
she's been committed to an Alzheimer's Unit in a nursing home. With no
memory of how she ended up in this position, Rose is sure that something
is very wrong. When she overhears one of the administrators saying
about her that she's "not making it through the week," Rose is convinced
that if she's to survive, she has to get out of the nursing home. She
avoids taking her medication, putting on a show for the aides, then
stages her escape.
The only problem is--how does she convince
anyone that she's not actually demented? Her relatives were the ones to
commit her, all the legal papers were drawn up, the authorities are on
the side of the nursing home, and even she isn't sure she sounds
completely sane. But any lingering doubt Rose herself might have had is
erased when a would-be killer shows up in her house in the middle of the
night. Now Rose knows that someone is determined to get rid of her.
With
the help of her computer hacker/recluse sister Marion, thirteen-year
old granddaughter Mel, and Mel's friend Royal, Rose begins to gather her
strength and fight back--to find out who is after her and take back
control of her own life. But someone out there is still determined to
kill Rose, and they're holding all the cards.
