From the best-selling author of All Is Not Forgotten and Don't Look
for Me comes a sharp, compulsive thriller about a young woman who
narrowly escapes a violent crime and the psychiatrist helping to recover
her memory of the suspect.
Gabby Ashford has just survived an attempt on her life. Detectives have
connected her story to two other cases in the area: Professional women
drugged at a bar, brought to their homes, and drowned in their bathtubs.
Gabby, who miraculously woke up in her own bathtub unharmed, could be
the key to finding a serial killer on the loose - but she has no memory
of the attack.
Gabby admits herself to a high-end rehabilitation center to recover and
to seek the help of a psychiatrist renowned for his work with memory
recovery. As Dr. Forrester works with Gabby - interviewing not only her
but her overbearing fiancée, her emotionally fragile brother, and the
local detective working the case - questions about Gabby's story, her
past, and the ethics of memory recovery emerge.
Dr. Forrester, the central voice of Walker's breakout debut All Is Not
Forgotten, is a fascinating and deeply complicated character, barreling
toward the truth of the case at hand while wrestling with the demons of
his own past. Shocking and succinct, Hold Your Breath will have you on
the edge of your seat from the first minute to the last.
