Drifting Back

by Trevor Scott

Freelance journalist Sig Conrad is shot in the head while elk hunting in the Oregon mountains. He survives but now his memory only lasts one day. A second man, Sig's old high school friend, is killed while swimming in Minnesota, the incident made to look like an accident. When Sig travels from Oregon to Minnesota for his class reunion, he finally starts to remember fleeting moments from his painful past. After another friend dies mysteriously, Sig's memory drifts back more vividly. Through the help of a former classmate and girlfriend, Sig starts to uncover a grand conspiracy of murder and political corruption. Clues lead to a fourth man who is running for the Oregon governorship—a man whom Sig had been writing about before he was shot. Will Sig recall everything before the killer finishes the job?

Reviews

[Jack Eakman]

Follow the adventure induced amnesia.

Good read as the victim of a gunshot to the head struggles to find himself and sort truth from fabrication.

[Miss Dizzy Read]

Every so often I pick random books to read and this was one of them.

I did like the main character Sig and the story was promising, but it did lack substance and wasn't gripping enough for me.

Pretty much guessed the outcome and it was quite predictable and basically written in parts.

As a gamble and for only 39p I can't complain, I may read more of his books.

Drifting back

Not a 5 stars but close enough for a twisting tale that maintained my attention with its constant questions as to what had happened each step of the way. Didn't understand the relationship between the wife and the friend midway through as that seemed a poor way to get to the next level. Still good to recommend.
