Damaged: Life. Death. Memory. Uncertainty.
“Damaged.” Life. Death. Memory. Uncertainty.
Perfect for fans of Dennis Lehane and Tana French.
Shay Landon, former SAC at the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office, has wrapped up nine months of mandatory leave following the death of his former partner and Assistant Special Agent in Charge.
In theory, time well spent on counseling, rest, and confronting discrepancies in his recollections of the death of his colleague, compared with the official record. In reality, trapped in therapy, lying to his doctors and his wife, second‑guessed by the Bureau, and haunted by a version of events no one else seems to share.
Today is scheduled to be his first day back at the office – not as the boss any longer, but in a special consulting role. No gun, no command, no field work. Just “analysis.” He kisses his wife, Cara, goodbye, heads into the dark garage to get in his car, and readies himself for his new beginning.
It’s too soon, however. He’s not ready. The world has tilted.
And there are mirrors everywhere reflecting back on him.

I am sitting here, mouth wide open, because I'm still in shock and am trying write this while it's all fresh in my mind. But holy… moly. *insert your own choice word here*. I have so many questions. Some were finally answered at the end, but others…. I'm just..😲I'm absolutely flabbergasted. I do recommend it. But it's a huge mind ****. Like huge. Just when I thought I was figuring it out, the ending came and wt*? You just have to read this. That's all I know to say. It's utterly mind bending/blowing, whatever word you want to use. Dang. Great job to the author.
