Lost on the National Pike
A gripping mystery but not a typical whodunit. A novel that goes straight into the underbelly of what makes us human and why it matters.
Clifford Dumont, the protagonist of this novel, has severe amnesia from a war injury in Iraq. He struggled for twelve years to get beyond a “black wall” but without success; so, he has resigned himself to a life without a past. He has stopped trying to find a way out of his darkness.
Then, a gruesome and mysterious death of an even more mysterious colleague, Jean-Paul Monceau, jars Clifford out of his zombie-like existence
