The truth of the matter - andrew klavan

Charlie West is certain that if he could just regain his memory, the chaos around him would make sense.

But the truth of the matter is even more incredible than he could imagine.

Never give in.

Ever since he woke up in a terrorist torture chamber--with a year of his life erased from his mind--Charlie West has been on the run.

He has one desperate hope of getting his life back: track down the mysterious agent named Waterman.

But in fact, reaching Waterman--and recovering the secrets lost in his own memory--will only increase his danger.

Because a team of ruthless killers is rapidly closing in on him, determined to stop him from finding the answers.

And the truth of the matter is more incredible .

and more deadly .

than he could ever imagine.

Action sequences that never let up .

wrung for every possible drop of nervous sweat.
