When a woman wakes up with amnesia beside a mountain highway, confused and alone, she fights to regain her identity, only to learn that her parents have disappeared — not long after her mother bought a winning $47 million lottery ticket. As her memories painfully resurface and the police uncover details of her parents' mysterious disappearance, Cleo Li finds herself under increasing suspicion. Even with the unwavering support of her brother, she can't quite reconcile her fears with reality or keep the harrowing nightmares at bay. As Cleo delves deeper for the truth, she cannot escape the nagging sense that maybe the person she should be afraid of ... is herself. With jolting revelations and taut ambiguity, In the Dark We Forget vividly examines the complexities of family — and the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive. (From HarperCollins Canada)
In the Dark We Forget is available in June 2022.
