Memento meets Sharp Objects in this superb thriller from the bestselling author of Something in the Water, a 2019 Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick
When a man is found on a Norfolk beach, drifting in and out of consciousness, with no identification and unable to speak, interest in him is sparked immediately. From the hospital staff who find themselves inexplicably drawn to him; to international medical experts who are baffled by him; to the nationalpress who call him Mr Nobody; everyone wants answers. Who is this man And what happened to him
Neuropsychiatrist Dr Emma Lewis is asked to assess the patient. This is her field of expertise, this is the chance shes been waiting for and this case could make her name known across the world. But therein lies the danger. Emma left this same small town in Norfolk fourteen years ago and has taken great pains to cover all traces of her past since then.
But now something or someone is calling her back. And the more time she spends with her patient, the more alarmed she becomes.
Has she walked into danger

'Steadmans deliciously provocative novel dishes up enough questions to fill the entire space devoted to this review. She cleverly cloaks them in more mysteries, turns and shocking revelations. Much like Something in the Water, Mr Nobody pits fascinating characters against each other and allows them to act on their worst impulses.'The Washington PostCatherine Steadman is an author and actress based in London.
