Synopsis

Wolf is a vagrant pavement artist on the streets of Amsterdam. He remembers nothing before the hospital, where he was treated for gunshot wounds. The police want to talk to him and sinister men are on his trail—he has to find a way into his mysterious past before his ignorance kills him. Robin Carlson, rebellious daughter of a U.S. general, has a do-it-my-way attitude. Stranded in Amsterdam, she puts her military training to use as a martial arts instructor and part-time bouncer in the city’s nightclubs. Robin’s desperate bid to help her on-again, off-again boyfriend catapults her into the murky world of illegal designer drugs. Wolf follows his heart and blunders into deep trouble. Robin and Wolf's paths are about to cross, but can they survive the Nemesis Project?

From the Author

I've been amazed at how many people who say 'Oh, I don't normally touch crime books/thrillers/SF with a ten-foot barge-pole' then pick up 'Looking For Mr Nobody' and proceed to thoroughly enjoy it - I think that because I enjoy reading (and writing) a wide range of fiction myself, that eclectic 'vibe' comes through in my writing so that it's not solely a crime book, or a thriller, or SF, and so on - but a happy meeting of genres that crosses over to an extraordinary degree. This makes me one very happy writer!
