Description
Fans of Kathy Reichs' Temperance Brennan novels will love forensic psychiatrist Jane Halifax. In Resurrection, Jane Halifax is back, but after suffering a terrible accident her memories have vanished - and to recover them, she must solve a twenty-year cold case that has haunted her career.
A near-fatal car accident has left Jane in a coma. When she wakes, she has no idea who she is.
Initially comforted by unlikely spectres from past cases, Jane is unaware of everyone else's concerns: the police who believe she was deliberately run off the road; a lawyer whose files were in her car at the time of the accident - files he should never have lent her; her neurosurgeon who fears a relapse; and her partner, Tim, who has to cope with the fact Jane remembers almost nothing of the last two years - including their relationship.
A young woman called Luna keeps luring Jane back to the present. Linked to a twenty-year-old case from Jane's past, Luna has a quest of her own she can only solve with Jane's help.
But if Jane wants to help Luna, she first needs to heal herself, and there just might be reasons beyond the accident that are hampering Jane's recovery ...
