Synopsis

1945: The war's over. But there are no medals for Danny McRae. Just amnesia and blackouts; twin handicaps for a private investigator with a filthy rich client on the hook for murder.

Danny's blackouts mean that hours, sometimes days, are a complete blank. So when news of a brutal killer stalking London's red light district start to stir grisly memories, Danny is terrified about what he might discover if he delves deeper into his fractured mind.

As the two bloody sagas collide and interweave, Danny finds himself running for his life across the bomb-ravaged city. The only escape is through that gap in his memory...

Will his past catch up with him before his enemies? And which would be worse?

From the Publisher:

Truth Dare KILL - Gordon Ferris

The war's over. But no medals for Danny McRae. Just amnesia and blackouts;
twin handicaps for a private investigator with an upper-class client on the
hook for murder.

It gets harder: newspaper headlines about a Soho psychopath stir grisly
memories in Danny's fractured mind. As the two bloody sagas collide and
interweave, Danny finds himself running for his life across the
bomb-ravaged city.

Will his past catch up with him before his enemies? And which would be
worse?

Fast-paced post-war noir, with grimly accurate London setting.
