Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden, Brain Damage is a psychological thriller about fractured memory, buried secrets and the terrifying uncertainty of not knowing who you can trust.

Dr Charly McKenna seems to have the perfect life, with a successful dermatology practice, a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park and a devoted husband.

Then a bullet tears through her skull.

Charly wakes in a rehabilitation hospital unable to walk, speak or even remember her own name. She knows only one thing for certain: someone tried to kill her, and that person may still be out there.

As fragments of memory begin to return, so do unsettling questions about the people surrounding her, including the attentive man who repeatedly appears at her bedside. Somewhere inside Charly’s damaged memory lies the truth about what happened that night.

The more she pieces together her past, the more frightening the possibilities become. The person who wants her dead may be someone she once trusted completely.

Brain Damage combines psychological suspense, fractured memory and hidden truths in a story about survival and the mind’s attempt to protect itself from what it cannot yet face.
