Only got to 18% into this and gave it up. I just didn't really understand it and couldn't be bothered to restart it to see if anything became any clearer. It was odd that the original crime happened around 18 months ago yet we're to believe everyone maybe involved was all of a sudden covering stuff up.
Right at the beginning he put a hyphen into ex-plained and again in bloody-well did. Service was used in place of servant. I'd no idea what an SEO carpet was and did look it up on Google and was none the wiser. We lost speechmarks along the way and fronts door was written instead of front. I got to this line which to me meant nothing and gave up-"I had time to extend him my mental thanks for having saved me from stupid cowardice"...I didn't get it so that was enough for me. I read the author died in 2005 so I think it's bad putting this out in his name with all the errors in it.

Cliff Summers has finally been able to return to his home time after being brutally assaulted fifteen months previously. But his memory of that day has gone. A local garage owner, Tony Clayton, was convicted of the assault and now approaches Cliff for help in finding his wife and saying that he is innocent of the assault. The lost memories are the key and he must find out what and why it happened.
Interesting though at times it felt that the story was being dragged out.
