Synopsis
A wounded young man awakens with no memory, buried in a web of family secrets and danger. The discovery shines a light on a world where memory, loyalty, and power collide.
In a hospital ward after the war, a man known only as No. 27 wakes to find his past gone and his future tangled with a family fortune. As he pieces together who he is, he confronts a web of relatives, heirs, and dangerous schemes on an island that hides more than it reveals. The book builds a tense mood of memory, identity, and fate as characters circle a dramatic history surrounding the Keppel estate.
Centered on a clash between memory and manipulation, the story moves from a secluded hospital to a rocky shoreline filled with intrigue. Readers will follow the shifting loyalties, the pressure of hidden relationships, and a chase that tests trust and courage in equal measure.
- Amnesia as a plot engine, driving questions of identity and lineage.
- A suspenseful setup where inheritance and secrecy raise the stakes.
- Compelling characters whose motives blur the line between ally and foe.
- A moody, stagey atmosphere that blends mystery with wartime echoes.
Ideal for readers who enjoy classic mystery and character-driven drama, where memory and motive shape every decision.
