A middle-aged woman suffering from amnesia checks into a small-town hotel under the pseudonym Nelly Dean with a suitcase full of cash and no idea where it, or she, came from. Distrustful of everyone from the waiter who serves her lunch to a store clerk who claims to know her from grade school, Nelly fears she is part of a conspiracy, although she is strangely indifferent to the clues that might explain her puzzling circumstances. Rather, she remains blissfully unaffected despite the many crimes occurring around her, whether it be an elderly woman getting attacked on the street, a bank robbery, or a house burning to ash. Named after the housekeeper in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Nelly Dean is an endearingly deranged character who will fascinate and excite readers in this haunting literary thriller.
