In a jail cell with no memory of the night before, Val Haines has no idea who he really is. But his nightmares and personal belongings help him piece together the memories -- an embezzlement, an accusation, an explosion. Soon he learns that the world thinks he's dead. He has a clean slate -- a chance to walk away and create the life he's always wanted.
But Val finds himself pursued by assailants he can't identify and he knows he has to run. But where can he turn for help if he doesn't know who the enemy is? Lovely Audrey d'Arcy offers a respite from the past and the present, but how can he trust her when he doesn't even know who he is or why she loves him?
Dying may just be the best thing that ever happened to Val Haines, but he's going to have to live first.
