Freeze: A Week With Mr. Hopkins (Snellen Chart Cover) - Paperback

by Ellis Kross (Author)

From the author of The Shadow Player comes a novel about a young woman who will stop at nothing to unlock the truth behind her disturbing past.

After being involved in a near fatal car accident while running away from home, Anne Roth can hardly remember anything about her life prior to the accident, which left her with severe memory loss. To Anne, these memories remain nothing more than an unsolved jigsaw puzzle. Some days, she remembers tiny fragments of a past life: hellish faces as dark as silhouettes, which leave her incapacitated and constrained into a state of medication, and, even worse, with murderous impulses; while most days, her mind is a blank canvas.

At twenty-something, Anne finds herself drifting in circles with a tedious cubicle job, neglectful boyfriend, and estranged foster parents until one night she is suddenly thrown back into the vicious life that she left behind so many years ago. Now, on the run from an elite group of assassins, Anne will soon learn that the only way to survive is to remember her past.

Contributing Editor Renny Jacobson of Flashback magazine is in desperate need of a story for next month's issue. Two weeks before the deadline, Renny receives an email inviting him to Leatherby Manor where he has been asked to conduct an exclusive interview with Marcus Hopkins, supposedly a former partner of legendary crime-fighter, Freeze, now turned Number One on FBI's Most Wanted List. Renny, who once revered the elusive figure as a child with dreams of one day writing a story on Freeze, simply cannot refuse the offer. After shocking details come to light during his stay at Leatherby Manor, Renny suddenly finds himself in the middle of a life-and-death situation that forces him to question whether or not sharing one of the greatest mysterious of all time to the world is worth the risk, especially when he already has a lot on his plate.
