A murder she doesn't remember committing. A killer she doesn't remember meeting. Megan Goldin's Stay Awake is an electrifying novel that proves memory can be deadly.
Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. When she's dropped off at the door of her brownstone, a stranger answers--a stranger who claims to live in her apartment. She reaches for her phone to call for help, only to discover it's missing. In its place is a bloodstained knife. Her hands are covered in scribbled messages, like graffiti on her skin: STAY AWAKE.

"Highly diverting...Goldin disorients the reader by deploying multiple timelines." -New York Times Book Review "Goldin -- writing in sharp, uncluttered prose -- cleverly keeps us guessing." -The Washington Post
